An Australian Defence Force white paper due next month is expected to unlock new investments in defence infrastructure, including port facilities upgrades and subsea technologies.O2 Marine has formed a new subsidiary focused on developing subsea technologies for military application in collaboration with the defence force and university researchers.
Lane set out to create a business model and ownership structure that allows team members to generate wealth and opportunity while doing something they love.His advice for aspiring entrepreneurs is to “back yourself and don’t be afraid to ask for help when things get tough”.

A former lecturer in organisational behaviour and leadership at the University of Western Australia, Taylor was engaged as a consultant five years ago to write the business case for Thermal Solar by his now Japanese supply partners. The net-zero consulting and engineering house started out three years ago working with clients such as the City of Melbourne to electrify their 40 largest gas consuming buildings in a feasible way from a capital and operational expenditure perspective.
