74 American companies come together at Indo Pacific 2025 to celebrate innovation, collaboration, and 250 years of the U.S. Navy
Sydney, Australia and Waldwick, NJ, USA — This November, the United States will bring its largest national presence to date to Indo Pacific 2025 with 74 leading American companies representing 19 states present at the show. The companies will exhibit within the USA Partnership Pavilion — a central location for American businesses, products, and services —organized by Kallman Worldwide.
The Pavilion will cover 1,825 square meters of exhibit space and will feature 27 companies new to the show and three state pavilions — Maryland, Mississippi, and Virginia. Together, these exhibitors embody the depth and diversity of American leadership and expertise in maritime security, defense innovation, and global collaboration. The U.S. presence also coincides with a milestone celebration: the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy.
As Australia continues to advance its Defence Strategic Review and invest in maritime modernization, Indo Pacific 2025 represents a key platform for U.S. companies seeking to contribute to, and grow with, one of America’s closest allies. The Australia-U.S. defense relationship remains one of the strongest in the Indo-Pacific region, with an annual value of $74.4b in 2024 for two-way merchandise trade between the two countries. Trade between Australia and the United States of America (USA) has been underpinned by the Australia United States Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA) and a shared commitment to regional security and technological innovation.
“This year, as we celebrate the U.S. Navy’s 250th anniversary, we’re reminded that our strength lies not just in our capabilities, but in our collaboration,” said Tom Kallman, President and CEO of Kallman Worldwide.

Empowering future innovators through the Endeavour Scholarship
Beyond organizing the American presence at the show, Kallman Worldwide is continuing its commitment to education and workforce development through the Astronaut Al Worden Endeavour Scholarship, a global program that sends students and educators to Space Camp at the U.S.
Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. To date, the program has awarded scholarships to 120 students and 30 educators from around the world.
This year, for the first time, Kallman will match all contributions made toward the Endeavour Scholarship by companies participating in Indo Pacific 2025 — doubling every dollar donated through the Endeavour Ceremony happening on November 5. With just $350, exhibitors can help fund a scholarship for a young person inspired to pursue a career in science, technology, engineering, or aviation.
