Centre for Defence Industry
Capability (CDIC)
The Centre for Defence Industry Capability’s mission is to work with industry and Defence to build a world class, globally competitive Australian industry as a Fundamental Input to Defence Capability.
The CDIC provides a central entry point for industry to find the assistance it needs for doing with Defence, and to coordinate support from across national and state and territory governments.
The Centre for Defence Industry Capability (CDIC) delivers initiatives in three key areas:
• Industry Development activities, including business advice and
funding for sector-wide initiatives
• Facilitating Innovation by connecting business, academia and research organisations with innovative ideas to Defence.
• Defence Business Competitiveness and Exports, focusing on enabling expert business advisers to provide Defence specific advice to help grow prosperous Australian businesses.
CDIC advisers are located in all states and territories, to form a national advisory network that connects businesses with researchers, the Defence industry, state and territory Governments and Defence. The CDIC is funded by Defence through Strategic Policy & Intelligence Group, but hosted by AusIndustry, enabling advisers to introduce industry and researchers to broader Government innovation initiatives.
The CDIC website takes applications for the Defence Innovation Hub and Next Generation Technologies Fund.
The CDIC will help transform the Defence and industry relationship, for Australia to grow a world-class, globally-competitive Defence industry for future generations.
