Digital Commercial Category Day

The Digital Commercial Category Day will bring together colleagues from across Defence's digital, technology and commercial communities to strengthen collaboration, share insights and develop a collective approach to delivering digital capability more effectively across Defence.

Session overview

The event will provide a forum to identify and address barriers that are limiting progress, explore opportunities for innovation and improvement, and develop practical actions that enable better delivery outcomes. Through open discussion and collaborative problem-solving, we aim to turn challenges into tangible solutions that support Defence's wider digital ambitions.
