Strategic Sovereignty: Securing Value Chain Control Across Australia’s Resources Future
Australia’s sovereign capability is built through partnerships, not isolation. In a world of shifting supply chains and compressed timelines, the structure of our partnerships determines whether we capture value or simply export it.
This plenary brings together leaders actively designing joint ventures, R&D collaborations and trade frameworks that strengthen supply chain resilience, diversify processing capability and retain strategic value onshore. From live deal structures to negotiation principles that protect long-term interests while attracting international capital, panellists share what’s working and what’s at stake. Leave with a practical framework to evaluate whether your next partnership strengthens Australia’s position.
Apply the partnership evaluation framework to your organisation’s current or prospective joint ventures. Assess whether they strengthen Australia’s strategic position and where they could deliver greater value.
