Episode 101: The Fast Track to Global Defense Collaboration

What happens when bureaucratic red tape meets bold collaboration? In this episode of Tech Transforms, Carolyn Ford is joined by Mat Cantagallo, Defense Director at Austrade, to explore how OWL, GME, and Austrade became the first to successfully leverage the AUKUS exemption, cutting through years of export restrictions to enable real-time defense collaboration between the U.S. and Australia. From simplifying tech transfer to accelerating mission-critical training, this conversation offers a powerful look at how smart policy and strategic partnerships are setting a new benchmark for global security innovation. If you’re in defense, cybersecurity, international trade, or just love a good story about making the impossible possible, this one’s for you. Contact Mat https://www.linkedin.com/in/mat-c-a377937/
