PILLAR TWO LABS

---

Pillar Two Labs exists to accelerate the advanced technologies that will define the future of security across the AUKUS alliance. We connect industry, academia, and defense to turn research into real-world capability — faster, safer, and smarter.

Through the AUKUS Connect Program, Pillar Two Labs provides a collaborative environment where ideas are tested, technologies are validated, and solutions are scaled into alliance-wide capabilities.

• Catalyst: Bridging government, industry, and research to accelerate rapid prototyping and deployment.
• Accelerator: Driving speed-to-capability across critical technology domains.
• Integrator: Ensuring allied interoperability through secure, open collaboration.

As a capabilities accelerator, Pillar Two Labs connects innovators with world-leading research infrastructure and supply chain partners — helping boost new technologies across the alliance and transform concepts into deployable outcomes.

The AUKUS Forum is also developing the AUKUS Passport , which will integrate skills recognition and security clearance capabilities into a unified framework. This initiative will enable professionals in defence, research, and advanced manufacturing to operate seamlessly across allied nations.
