To equip the City of Playford with sustainable, actionable insights, Aimpoint delivered:
A significant outcome of Aimpoint’s Defence Strategy was the establishment of the Edinburgh Industry Alliance. This premier alliance has become one of Australia’s leading industry collaborations, bringing together local businesses to pursue defence work collectively and fostering partnerships across business development, workforce training, and community uplift initiatives. The Edinburgh Industry Alliance has since enabled regional companies not only to secure defence contracts but also to collaborate on broader community development programs, thereby solidifying the region’s standing in the national defence landscape.
An integral initiative of Aimpoint’s Defence Strategy for the City of Playford is the Annual Defence Industry Day, an event now recognised as a cornerstone in the region’s defence industry engagement. Each year, this full-day program hosts over 250 attendees, providing local businesses with direct access to major Defence and industry primes from both national and international landscapes
Through this event, Aimpoint, in partnership with the City of Playford, has created a unique platform where businesses can connect with key players in the defence sector, learn about upcoming projects, and explore pathways to enter the supply chains of major industry primes. This annual event has become a pivotal opportunity for local companies, fostering knowledge-sharing and collaboration across the defence ecosystem.
Beyond the initial strategy, Aimpoint has continued to coordinate and develop the Defence Industry Day, inviting prominent speakers and Defence leaders to engage with the local community, sharing insights and opportunities that empower regional businesses to thrive in the defence sector.
Highlights the Annual Defence Industry Day’s role in connecting local businesses to global defence opportunities and reinforces Aimpoint’s ongoing support for the City of Playford’s strategic initiatives.
Aimpoint’s Defence Strategy has positioned the City of Playford as a proactive player in the defence sector, enabling it to attract new opportunities and better support local businesses engaged in defence work. By establishing a collaborative, informed approach to defence industry engagement, the City of Playford now holds a strategic advantage, supported by the Edinburgh Industry Alliance’s collaborative framework and Aimpoint’s ongoing strategic insights.
