Sunrise Sessions
From co-founding a billion-dollar education company, Go1, to building missile defence systems at Black Sky Aerospace, Vu Tran’s journey defies expectations. How does a practising GP from Logan, Queensland, end up pioneering defence technology, and what ideological hurdles has he overcome along the way? In this Sunrise keynote, Vu will share why Australia’s sovereign capabilities are at risk, why defence tech is a massive (and overlooked) market, and how innovation in rocketry could shape industries far beyond the battlefield. Join Vu as he confronts controversy head-on and shares the unexpected path that led him to Black Sky Aerospace.
