De Stefano & Co | Defence and Security Experts

Fantastic to meet with Mayor Claire Boan and Rosanna Francesca from the City of Port Adelaide Enfield this morning. It was great to hear about their new City Vision, and discuss how the opportunities that Defence presents for the local area can contribute to their goals of a prosperous economy, and a thriving community. The team at De Stefano & Co look forward to working hand-in-hand with the City of PAE to realise its vision of "A welcoming, liveable City: made by people". #defenceindustry #workingtogether #southaustralia #defenceandsecurityexperts

This week, our team members Emilio De Stefano and Braeden Clark are in Perth for the Indian Ocean Defence & Security (IODS) Conference, and what an event is has been! Stunning displays, heavy hitting panel discussions, thought-provoking presentations and great networking opportunities. We've been excited to meet with clients and make introductions, as well as catch up with some familiar faces at the event. In addition, the conference sessions have been extremely valuable, with our team hearing more about the importance (and benefits) of the investments being made in AUKUS, and the opportunities for the supply chain and defence industrial base. One particular panel session "Naval cooperation and security in the Indo-Pacific" saw the four Navy chiefs from Australia, the USA, the UK and Japan come together to share and discuss how they are closely working together to ensure interoperability and interchangeability into the future. Moderated by the ABC's Defence Correspondent Andrew Greene, the panellists were: - Vice Admiral Mark Hammond (AUS) - Admiral Lisa Franchetti (USA) - Admiral Sir Ben Key (UK) - Admiral Saito Akira (Japan) Even with the Defence & Industry Dinner later tonight, and another day of sessions still to come, it's safe to say that the event has been a great success for all involved. #IODS2024 #defenceindustry #security #aukus #defenceandsecurityexperts
