To raise awareness and understanding of the AUKUS security pact and its implications for the UK including the important opportunities for economic growth. The group will work with Government, NGOs, think tanks, the MOD and its agencies, industry, and experts, to understand the opportunities and risks flowing from the multiple programmes of work that AUKUS represents, and why this programme matters to the UK.
