Retlif was honored to sponsor and participate in a recent AUKUS Roundtable event held in Groton, CT, hosted by the Griffin Group Global in collaboration with the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade). In attendance from Retlif were William Hayes, Scott Wentworth and Melissa Poggi.
AUKUS—a trilateral security partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States—focuses on strengthening defense cooperation and advancing shared capabilities. This impactful event brought together senior representatives from Austrade, the Australian Embassy, the Maritime Industrial Base Program, and key industry leaders such as General Dynamics Electric Boat, along with members of the maritime supply chain. The roundtable fostered meaningful dialogue, encouraged collaboration, and sparked new opportunities for partnership across the defense manufacturing ecosystem.
For Retlif, continued involvement in AUKUS initiatives is vital. It reinforces our role as a trusted partner in advancing allied security objectives, provides insight into evolving defense requirements, and strengthens connections with government, military, and industry leaders. By sponsoring and participating in these events, Retlif demonstrates industry leadership, gains early visibility into emerging opportunities, and deepens relationships across the maritime supply chain. Just as importantly, it reflects our commitment to supporting the broader defense and industrial community, contributing to innovation, resilience, and the shared security of allied nations.
As a National Sponsor for upcoming AUKUS events, Retlif remains committed to supporting these collaborative efforts that drive progress, bolster industrial capabilities, and enhance the security of the U.S. and its allies.
