We are delighted to share with you that the Australian American Leadership Dialogue (AALD) will hold the annual Forum in Adelaide – for the first time!
The Adelaide 2025 AALD Forum (August 13-15) promises to be exceptional.
Adelaide stands out as a premier destination for our global leaders – a powerhouse in defence and innovation with cultural richness and strategic importance:
The city will co-manufacture the new AUKUS-class nuclear-powered submarines under the AUKUS partnership. This initiative underscores the city’s importance in enhancing defence capabilities and strengthening international alliances. Adelaide’s Lot Fourteen is a world-class innovation district dedicated to solving complex global challenges. The seven-hectare hub brings together startups, corporations, researchers, and government, fostering a collaborative environment that is driving productivity and innovation. This includes the South Australian Space Industry Centre (SASIC), which is positioning Adelaide as a leader in space technology, as well as the Australian Institute for Machine Learning, which is among the top global sites for computer vision research.
We highlight these attributes which collectively make Adelaide an exceptional destination for the AALD Forum offering a dynamic environment conducive to innovation, strategic collaboration, and a standard bearer of social cohesion.
