We help Australian defence and dual-use technology companies navigate international markets — from Five Eyes procurement portals to Indo-Pacific government-to-government pathways and AUKUS industrial partnerships.
$1,000 audit fee is fully refunded when you start a retainer.
Australian defence and dual-use technology companies are producing genuinely world-class capability — autonomous systems, electronic warfare, cyber, advanced sensors, and dual-use industrial technology that allied nations are actively looking for.
But the international defence market doesn't work like commercial B2B. There are export controls to navigate, procurement portals to monitor, government-to-government frameworks to understand, and offset requirements to satisfy. Most companies know the opportunity is there — they just don't know where to start, or don't have the dedicated resource to pursue it.
We don't replace your legal counsel or export control compliance team. We work alongside them to build the BD engine — the prospect intelligence, outreach, and relationship development that turns awareness into pipeline.
We focus your effort on the pathways with the highest win probability for your specific technology, clearance posture, and export licence position.
The world's largest defence market. AUKUS creates new technology sharing frameworks that reduce ITAR friction for Australian companies. Defence primes and OTAs are the primary entry points for technology suppliers.
ITAR · DSCA · OTA vehiclesUK defence procurement is actively seeking allied-nation technology. MOD's Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) and Find a Tender service are open to Australian suppliers. Strong bilateral relationship.
DASA · MOD · DE&S frameworksCanada's defence procurement modernisation creates opportunities for allied suppliers. PSPC and Public Works frameworks are accessible. Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) policy creates structured entry pathways.
PSPC · ITB policy · CFPOJapan's historic shift to defence export and acquisition creates significant new opportunities. ATLA procurement is expanding, and Japan's defence budget has doubled — with explicit intent to acquire allied-nation technology.
ATLA · Quasi-Alliance frameworksSingapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines are actively modernising their defence forces and seeking technology partnerships from trusted regional partners. Australia's geographic proximity is a strategic advantage.
DSTA · Mindef frameworksThe closest and simplest international defence market for Australian companies. NZDF procurement is open to Australian suppliers under CER and Five Eyes frameworks with minimal export control complexity.
NZDF · CER · MFAT channelsDefence export is relationship-intensive, long-cycle, and compliance-aware. We understand the difference between commercial and government sales pathways — and we build BD strategy that works within the constraints of your export licence position.
AUKUS isn't just about submarines. Pillar II creates new technology sharing and co-development pathways between Australian, US, and UK defence industry — specifically designed to reduce the friction that has historically kept Australian SMEs out of allied-nation procurement.
Companies that build relationships and establish a track record inside allied procurement systems now will be positioned for the contracts that flow as AUKUS matures. The window to be an early mover is open now.
Australian defence technology companies pursuing export markets are strong EMDG candidates. The grant reimburses eligible export promotion expenses — including advisory, BD automation, and international marketing. Austrade's Defence Export Adviser network can also provide additional support. We manage the EMDG application as part of the engagement.
A 30–60 minute session plus a written growth plan tailored to your defence technology, export licence position, and target markets. No obligation. If you start a retainer, the fee comes off your first month.
