EXTAG proudly participated in the Canberra Innovation Showcase, marking the conclusion of the Entrepreneurial Foundations for Defence (EFD) program.
Held at the Australian Defence Force Academy, the event gathered over 100 key stakeholders from the defence industry, providing a platform for the selected EFD cohort of 23 Australian-owned ventures and SMEs to present their technologies.
The EFD program is designed to help cutting-edge innovators and SMEs commercialise their products in the defence market. Over ten weeks, participating organisations gained insights into defence readiness, commercialisation, and technology integration. The program combined online and in-person sessions, offering access to expert mentors and technical specialists, essential for accelerating sovereign capabilities.
Our journey through the EFD program deepened our understanding of defence needs and commercialisation pathways. Access to expert guidance allowed us to refine a tailored use case for our Custom Asset Management System, originally developed for the Oil & Gas and Mining sectors.
This technology fundamentally transforms asset management in regulated, asset-intensive industries by addressing inefficiencies in current data collection processes. With real-time visibility into asset status and performance, we empower faster, data-driven decisions at all levels.
During the showcase, we demonstrated how EXTAG’s platform drives efficiency and operational excellence, providing visibility and insights to support decision-making within Defence. Engaging directly with Defence stakeholders was another important step in tailoring our solutions to the sector's specific demands.
This experience has opened new opportunities for EXTAG, helping us build strategic relationships and positioning us for prospects in the defence sector. We are deeply grateful for the support from the Defence Trailblazer team and the collaborative environment fostered by the EFD cohort.
We also congratulate the 23 other ventures that completed the program alongside us; their inspiring innovations foster collaboration and growth within this complex landscape.
We’re excited about how EXTAG can contribute to sovereign capability through our efficient asset management solutions.
