This approach reduces the time, cost, and complexity typically required for companies to break into defence supply chains.

Why It Matters

Defence procurement can be difficult for smaller companies to access due to high up-front costs, complex standards, and limited visibility of real needs. The Defence Accelerator removes those barriers by embedding small and medium businesses into the Defence innovation ecosystem and accelerating their path to readiness. By lifting local technology into action faster, this program boosts Australian industry content, strengthens national security, and ensures the defence force is equipped with the best homegrown innovations.
