Taking place on 28 February - 05 March 2023 at Avalon Airport in Geelong, Victoria, AVALON 2023 is a global business event, attracting senior civil aviation, air transport, aerospace and defence industry, military and government decision-makers from around the world.
AVALON 2023 is supported by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), Airservices Australia, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, Defence’s Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group, the Defence Science and Technology Group, and the Departments of Industry, Innovation & Science and of Infrastructure & Regional Development.
Regional economies are growing at a dramatic rate and demand for commercial and defence-related aviation and aerospace technology has never been greater.
As the world's only island continent, Australia bridges both the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
It is strategically located on the south-east Asian rim and is a large and technologically-advanced market in its own right and a major economic and military power within the region.
For more than a century, Australia has helped play a leading and influential role in the development of the region’s aviation and aerospace community. Its vast distances have driven the development of sophisticated national and international airline networks, along with extensive regional and business aviation services.
To promote Western Australian defence industry capability to national and international audiences, Defence West, through the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation (JTSI), has reserved floor space to support up to 24 local defence-related organisations to co-exhibit on its stand.
Defence West’s role at AVALON 2023 is to support and grow the defence enterprise in Western Australia, to advance the diversification and growth of the State’s economy.
Please download and complete this expression of interest (EOI) in full, and return to defencewest@jtsi.wa.gov.au before 5pm AWST on Friday, 4 December 2022.
The Defence West Industry Engagement team will be in touch once submission selection is finalised.
