- Heather Richman from BMNT,

- More to follow in the coming days
Join us to talk about the various ways, pitfalls, traps and success paths into the US DoD market.
The US DoD budget is US$870B compared to US$32B for the Australian DoD budget. Even if the Australian DoD was the perfect customer, a larger and Allied opportunity exists within the US, which will ultimately benefit the ADF through the adoption and integration of Australian technologies into the US Military. The US has more than 12,000 taxation jurisdictions and is a free market economy with very little in common to our home market, but the prize is worth the effort.
This session is all about sharing how to start to think about this market, the terminology, organisations, timeframes, methods and more about success in the US.
