SUBSEA INNOVATION CLUSTER AUSTRALIA: SYNERGIES BETWEEN DEFENCE AND THE ENERGY SECTOR The Subsea Innovation Cluster of Australia (SICA) was formed in Perth from the natural cluster of expertise and capabilities that have developed from the growth of the oil and gas industry. The formation of SICA provides a valuable focal point to engage with the defence industry to apply best practices from oil and gas and foster the development of new, and innovative solutions.
