There’s never been a better time to be a small business in Australia. Online B2B marketplaces, like those built on BenchOn, are transforming how suppliers connect—streamlining processes and unlocking opportunities for SMEs to thrive as significant government and corporate investments come to life. 💡 Did you know? Two major government initiatives are the $330 billion investment in the Defence industry through the National Defence Strategy and the $22.7 billion “Future Made in Australia” initiative. These investments are reshaping industries like defence and manufacturing, with resilient local supply chains at the heart of their success. Accurate matching between requirements and suppliers is key - online directories give large companies too many options and supply chain consultancies are too focused to find new and emerging suppliers. Online marketplaces are the solution, helping businesses tap into untapped capacity, build robust supply chains, and thrive in resource-constrained environments. By seamlessly connecting the right suppliers to the right projects, these platforms foster growth, efficiency, and collaboration across industries. 🙌 How can I help? As Chief Growth Officer at BenchOn, I lead strategic initiatives in product management, marketing, and business development to expand BenchOn’s network of industry portals and marketplaces. BenchOn empowers business with smarter tools for workforce and supply chain engagement, helping organisations navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and build stronger, more connected futures. - For government and industry associations: BenchOn delivers measurable impact by hosting industry portals that seamlessly connect suppliers. - For Tier 1 and Prime consultancies: Our tools optimise supply chains, driving efficiency and collaboration at every level. - For small businesses: Our open industry portals and regular training content provide the insights and tools needed to get your business on major projects.
