Digital and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping defence - not just through smarter systems, but by enabling transformation at every level from production to procurement. This panel explores how digital and AI is unlocking new forms of growth: from accelerating procurement and logistics to scaling operational readiness and workforce capability.

But growth is not just about speed or scale. It is about building resilience, improving decision-making, and creating the conditions for long-term success. That includes empowering people to focus on high-value, mission-critical work by automating the repetitive and the routine.

Our panellists will share lessons from the front lines of digital and AI implementation in defence, highlighting how people, process, and governance are just as critical as the technology itself. They will explore critical questions such as how do we use digital and AI to overcome skills shortages and workforce gaps? How can organisations create more adaptive and digitally fluent teams, and build trust in AI systems and remove barriers to change?

This is a strategic conversation for leaders who want to move beyond the hype and understand what it really takes to deliver transformation and growth in Defence with digital and AI, responsibly, sustainably, and fast.
