The Australian Government’s Defence Industry Development Grant (DIDG) program offers a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in the defence sector.
The program provides up to $39 million annually until mid-2028, aiming to enhance SME capabilities, capacity, and security posture.
As the world’s aviation, aerospace, and defence industries come together at the Avalon 2025 Australian International Airshow, it’s an unparalleled opportunity to conduct business, discuss the latest technology and innovation, and expand networks.
Managing Director of Avant Group, Kate Whitehead said the grant allows SMEs to thrive in the industry.
“The DIDG program is a fantastic initiative that gives SMEs a unique opportunity to thrive in the defence sector. By offering vital funding for innovation, skills development, and security enhancements, the DIDG empowers SMEs to become key contributors to Australia’s defence industry. It’s a catalyst for innovation, job creation, and economic growth,” Ms Whitehead said.
