Uniting AUKUS at Oxford ???????????? Make Submarines ? Michael Sharpe was in Oxford with the Hon. David Ridgway, Agent General for South Australia and Lord Walney, Vice Chair of the British All Party Parliamentary Group on AUKUS. It brings together MPs and Peers from across the political divide to better understand the opportunities, and challenges, that we will face in delivering the new shared submarine programme (SSN-AUKUS), and also the other tiers of work on AI, quantum computing, information sharing to name but a few. #Additive manufacturing is a key capability being developed and the AUKUS Forum is engaged with researchers from leading universities and key industry pioneers to accelerate the adoption of new technologies and materials for 3D printing across the alliance.

Uniting AUKUS ???????????? On the ground, on the factory floors—this is where AUKUS takes shape. Michael Sharpe is walking the factory floors across the AUKUS Industry Zones in the United States and now here in Scotland at Arc Additive Limited seeing firsthand the cutting-edge innovations driving collaboration across our three nations. From advanced manufacturing to next-generation defense technologies, we are uniting people and capabilities to strengthen AUKUS. Our AUKUS to Avalon program is bringing this momentum to Australia, with workshops in Canberra, Sydney, Albury/Wodonga, and culminating at the Avalon Airshow. These sessions will connect industry leaders, researchers, and supply chain partners, driving collaboration in additive manufacturing, aerospace, cybersecurity, and defense innovation. ??

Walking the factory floors across England and Scotland. Here in Bristol - our CEO Michael Sharpe met with the team from Rowden ???????????? Founded in 2017 by Robert Harper, an ex-military communications systems engineer — Rowden began with the realisation that emerging connectivity technologies would dramatically expand the potential of edge operations. The team integrate advanced systems that sense, connect, and protect data in demanding environments where decisions must be made quickly. Headquartered in Bristol - a city long recognised for its pioneering spirit - the company is positioning itself to deliver the next generation of UK engineering expertise globally. Through our AUKUS Connect program—and with a growing team across Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom—we are forging new pathways for industry collaboration across the three nations.

?? On the Road Across AUKUS Nations – From Texas to Tamworth and Big Ben ???????????? Michael Sharpe has just touched down in Utah for key nuclear industry meetings, followed by visits to the factory floors in Salt Lake City. Next stop: Dallas and regional Texas, where he’ll connect with leaders in #additive manufacturing. The work continues across Scotland and England—walking factory floors in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol, Sheffield, Manchester, and beyond. In London, Michael will engage with nuclear industry leaders as part of the British Nuclear Dialogue. ??

The nuclear industry is at a turning point. With global investments surging in Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), microreactors, nuclear-powered submarines, and fusion energy, the sector is rapidly expanding beyond its traditional role. This presents unparalleled opportunities for engineering, manufacturing, and technology firms to enter a high-value, high-growth market. For businesses in aerospace, shipbuilding, precision engineering, automation, AI, cybersecurity, and materials science, now is the time to engage. The AUKUS nations (Australia, the UK, and the US) are leading the charge, making nuclear a critical pillar of energy security, defense strategy, and industrial innovation. AUKUS Forum https://lnkd.in/gem25KDU

The AUKUS Forum is leading the charge in workforce development, fostering collaboration across Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States to ensure that industries have the talent and expertise needed to sustain defense, advanced manufacturing, and critical technologies.

This month we will be all over the United Kingdom and walking the factory floors. Get involved ???????????? In a world of rising threats and relentless competition, standing still is not an option. The AUKUS nations face a stark reality—our defense capabilities, supply chains, and workforce must not only keep pace but lead the charge in global innovation and security. The AUKUS Forum is taking decisive action, cutting through bureaucracy, breaking down silos, and building real, lasting solutions. We are here to move fast, think big, and act boldly to ensure our industries remain agile, resilient, and always ready for what comes next. Strengthening Supply Chains: No More Weak Links Our AUKUS Industry Zones are already connecting local manufacturers with global partners to develop next-generation capabilities. The Special Office for AUKUS is helping Australian businesses expand into US and UK markets, opening doors to new partnerships and access to cutting-edge technology hubs. #Additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping are at the core of this effort, reducing production times and creating more resilient supply chains. Workforce development is critical. Programs like our Oil and Gas Skills Bridge in the US Gulf States will help create new career pathways with advanced manufacturing and defense roles. We need a future-ready workforce that can meet the demands of AI, robotics, cyber defense, and beyond. The challenges ahead are real, but so are the opportunities. The AUKUS Forum is not here to play it safe. We are here to drive change—faster, smarter, and stronger than ever before. Connect with Michael Sharpe across England and Scotland this month.
