Australia and the region have excellent potential for military business
- Australia GDP is about $1560B (USD). Most of it is associated one way or the other with the mining industry (various natural resources, oil, gas, diamonds, gold, iron etc.).
- The Australian defense budget for 2015 is about $24B (USD).
- Australia is the only “power” in the region.
- Australian armed forces participated in each and every coalition effort in the last two centuries.
However, it is difficult and costly area:
- It takes 24-36h to get from Europe to Australia.
- Australia Ministry of Defense purchasing regulations are very “heavy” and it takes years to start a program.
- Cost of living in Australia is relatively expensive.
- For a European company, it becomes an expensive effort to market and support a product in Australia.
Achieving growth by entering a new market
Obviously, the cost and distance barriers play a major factor in decision processes made by European companies regarding Australia and the region market development.
RFV and its Australian partner offer a win-win solution to this issue, reducing the cost to a minimum and bridging the distance.
Hence, opening potential growth opportunities to companies that previously chose to avoid entering this area.
