S02E08: Inside Australia's Defence Boom No One's Talking About w/Fred Bkamdin
Australia and Western Australia are entering a major defence and shipbuilding boom, but it is happening largely under the radar.
In this episode, Hanif sits down with Fred Bkamdin, National Business Growth Manager-Marine (Defence & Commercial Excellence) at Energy Power Systems Australia and President of Australian Industry & Defence Network WA, to unpack what is really going on inside the industry.
From the scale of investment and long-term pipeline of work, to the urgent demand for skilled workers, Fred shares why this is not a short-term spike, but a sustained shift that will shape Australia's economy for decades.
They explore the realities of defence manufacturing in Australia, the flow-on impact to jobs and infrastructure, and why collaboration, trust, and capability are critical in an industry where the stakes are ultimately about safety and security.
If you want to understand where real opportunity is emerging in Australia right now, this is a conversation worth paying attention to.
