Welcome to the AVALON 2023 Innovation Awards. They recognise and reward innovation by Australian individuals and organisations at the forefront of innovation in aviation, aerospace, defence and space products, services and business processes.
These Awards were launched in 2012 and the AMDA Foundation has now presented $425,000 worth of SME Innovation Awards and Young Innovator Awards.
There will be three Innovation Awards for space, aerospace and aviation innovators:
The SME Innovation Award and Young Innovator Award are worth $15,000 each.
The Judges also have the right to Award a High Commendation to other entries in each category considered strong enough to be a winner or a very close runner-up.
The awards are open to Australian companies or the Australian subsidiaries of overseas parent companies operating in the space, aerospace and aviation sectors, and the innovation could be anything from a new product or service to a new approach to business. Young innovators may be engineers, managers or early-career researchers working in industry, academia or a specialist research institution.
We welcome entries from defence and civil organisations in all categories, including:
AVALON 2023 will be held at Avalon Airport, Geelong, from 28 February to 5 March 2023. The Innovation Award nominees and winners will enjoy the attention of senior leaders and practitioners from the Australian defence and industry communities as well as specialist media attending AVALON 2023.
