With the government firmly behind driving Australian defence industry capabilities, Defence Connect chatted with Vince Howie, aerospace and defence director for the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, to hear how Australian businesses can branch out to move directly into the US defence supply chain. Flying the flag for the US and Oklahoma, Howie gives the lowdown on the state’s strong aerospace industry, what Australian SMEs need to get right when breaking into the US market and the dynamics of the Australian-US defence business relationship. http://www.defenceconnect.com.au
