1941 Fund

The investment opportunity in national security. With uncertainties ever-present, the U.S. and Australia will continue to forge ever stronger relations. Businesses that best manage and take advantage of this will be the most successful. As our respective national security capabilities increase, and interoperability and related technologies are harnessed in commercial industries; the opportunities for businesses on both sides of the Pacific Ocean will increase significantly. The manner in which our countries respond to changing geo-political and environmental challenges in the Indo-Pacific and beyond will shape the 21st century. Successive Australian Governments and U.S. Administrations have recognized the importance of science and innovation in the National Security sector. With a focus on dual-use businesses and technologies, particularly in the defense, cyber, intelligence, space and related national security industries, 1941 will help Australian and U.S. businesses harness the world-leading expertise and resources required to grow as they deliver innovative technologies and products needed to address the broad spectrum of national security challenges now and into the future.
