Cohort plc is set to make a significant impact at the Indo Pacific 2025 defence and maritime exhibition in Sydney, Australia, from 4 to 6 November. The UK-based defence technology group will showcase cutting-edge solutions from five of its seven specialist subsidiaries, reinforcing its commitment to the Indo-Pacific region’s strategic security needs.
The event will feature maritime defence innovations from ELAC SONAR, SEA, EID, EM Solutions, and Chess Dynamics. These subsidiaries will demonstrate their expertise in critical areas such as surveillance, communications, and anti-submarine warfare. Cohort’s participation underscores its dedication to supporting allies and partners in a region where defence technology plays a pivotal role in maintaining stability and security.
“This is one of the most significant defence and maritime events in the global calendar,” said Andy Thomis, Chief Executive of Cohort plc. “Through our combined expertise, we are proud to contribute solutions that enhance operational effectiveness and resilience for our allies across the Indo Pacific—a region of growing strategic importance that faces rapidly evolving challenges.”
The Indo Pacific 2025 exhibition provides a crucial platform for Cohort to engage directly with partners and customers, showcasing how its subsidiaries are driving innovation in modern naval and joint force operations. The event will also serve as an opportunity to discuss the evolving threat landscape, including challenges posed by anti-ship missiles, drones, and autonomous surface and sub-surface vessels.
As part of the event programme, Thomis will deliver a keynote presentation titled “Agile defence technology to address emerging threats in the Indo Pacific” on Thursday 6 November at 14:00 (AEST). The session will explore how democratic nations can respond to these growing security risks through the application of agile, technology-driven solutions. The discussion will focus on strengthening maritime resilience and protecting global trade routes in the face of evolving threats.
Cohort’s presence at Indo Pacific 2025 highlights the company’s role as a key player in the defence technology sector, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region. By leveraging its subsidiaries’ expertise, Cohort aims to deliver innovative solutions that address the region’s most pressing security challenges. The event will not only strengthen existing partnerships but also pave the way for future collaborations in defence and maritime innovation.
