The New Zealand Defence Industry Association (NZDIA) was formed in 1993 as an industry development initiative, with the major emphasis today being on networking and encouraging members to work together on developing joint approaches to Defence projects in New Zealand and overseas.
To achieve this, the NZDIA:
Maintains a close relationship with both the New Zealand Defence Force and Ministry of Defence.
• Organises the annual New Zealand Defence, Industry &
National Security Forum in October / November each year, an event bringing together domestic and international companies focused on national security, and the NZDF, MOD and other security agencies.
• Provides market information to members for both general defence opportunities and specific projects.
• Is active, alongside NZ Trade and Enterprise, in promoting the NZ defence industry at overseas (especially Australia) defence forums.
• Provides networking opportunities for member companies, and encourages the formation of alliances and joint ventures.
• Can assist international national security agencies with information on the capability and capacity of member companies and related networks in order to match the needs of prime contractors in NZ and overseas with NZ companies who may act as in-country representatives, contractors or subcontractors.
• Liaises with the NZDF and Ministry of Defence to source information of relevance to members.
• Seeks to have a more informed membership by arranging briefings, workshops and visits on general defence industry matters and specific projects.
• Provides input to public consultation on defence industry matters, such as White Paper developments.
• Engages with the government and national security agencies on matters of concern to members.
