Product Update: AusDIP expands to new capabilities in emerging technologies.
Australian Defence Industry Portal (AusDIP) has launched new capability categories focused on Emerging Technologies and Advanced Manufacturing, opening fresh opportunities for BenchOn suppliers nationwide to enter the defence sector and connect with local partners.
The AusDIP portal is supported by local BenchOn Concierge Support. If you would like help to optimise your profile or better understand how AusDIP works, live chat is available in portal or you can call 1300 0 BENCH (23624).
This expansion is based on direct feedback from defence primes and major project leads, who are seeking more precise ways to source local suppliers with specialised expertise across emerging and complex technology areas.
