BAE Systems Australia

Pathfinder Series

The Pathfinder Series, presented by Stone & Chalk in collaboration with our partners at BAE Systems Australia, will give startups and scaleups the opportunity to collaborate on problems and opportunities in the defence and security sector.

Leveraging Stone & Chalk’s national innovation community and BAE Systems’ extensive supply chain capability and existing industry development activities, the Pathfinder Series is aimed at supporting the growth of the defence and security sector in Australia through a series of curated workshops.

During these workshops, select founders will have the opportunity to pitch their business to BAE Systems mentors, and workshop innovative ideas to help solve industry needs. These sessions will allow BAE Systems to identify ways in which they can partner with founders to support the success of their startup or scaleup.

Participant Criteria

To participate in these workshops, founders of an emerging tech startup/scaleup must meet the following criteria:

  • Startups/scaleups in the defence and security industry
  • Or have a solution or technology from another sector that is relevant to the defence and security industry
  • Be in MVP stage
  • Already in operation in Australia at the time of application.

Please note that only those who meet the criteria will be eligible to participate.
