Boettcher Law at the German-Australian Chamber's defence roundtable

21 August 2026

The German-Australian Chamber of Industry and Commerce brought its members together in Sydney on the defence sector, with the German diplomatic mission taking part. It is the second time the Chamber has convened this conversation, the first having been held in 2023.

Our contribution was the part that sits before any of the opportunity: what a smaller German supplier actually has to have in place before it can win work here. That means the approvals and registrations a new entrant needs, the entity and the contracts underneath them, and the terms it will be asked to accept as a supplier two tiers down a chain it does not control.

It is work the firm already does for German companies entering the market, and the sector does not change the shape of it so much as raise the cost of getting it wrong.
