About Defence Innovation Partnership

Powerful collaborations for South Australia

The Defence Innovation Partnership is a collaborative initiative of Defence SA, Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) and South Australia's three public universities, The University of Adelaide, Flinders University and University of South Australia.

Bringing together a world-class collective of thinkers, practitioners and experts in defence research and development, each of the partners is committed to a model of genuine collaboration between governments, industries and universities.

We help the South Australian research and development community meet the needs of Defence by navigating the path to the creation of new technologies that transform and inspire.

Whether you're a researcher, industry representative or Defence stakeholder, our strength is in fostering collaborations through our extensive networks across South Australia's research and innovation ecosystem.

The Defence Innovation Partnership's objectives are aligned with the South Australian state priorities, and the priorities of the Defence Innovation, Science and Technology Strategy.
