Australian technology company Vection Technologies, headquartered in Perth, has signed its largest-ever contract, securing a €22.3 million framework agreement with a NATO-approved partner in the European defence sector. The deal marks a significant milestone for Australia’s growing presence in global defence supply chains and showcases the capability of homegrown innovation on the international stage.
The multi-year agreement, which can be extended to a total value of €29.5 million under existing terms, will see Vection supply and deploy secure ICT infrastructure integrated with its Australian-developed INTEGRATEDXR platform. The contract runs through to 2030 and aligns with the European partner’s ongoing defence program and broader regional initiatives.
Importantly, the agreement is being fulfilled using Vection’s existing Australian resources, requiring no additional capital investment. The European partner is a certified vendor to both NATO and the Council of Europe and supports major defence integrators and solution providers across the continent.
The framework builds on an established relationship between the two organisations and brings Vection’s Australian Defence Program to an expected total value of €40 million, including previously signed contracts. Of this, €17.7 million in agreements are already in place, and €10.3 million of project work has been delivered. Orders are scheduled to continue through to the end of the decade.
At the heart of the agreement is Vection’s INTEGRATEDXR platform, an Australian-designed solution that combines virtual, augmented, mixed and extended reality with secure ICT and kiosk infrastructure. The technology supports the monitoring and oversight of critical defence assets and was successfully piloted in the last financial year. Vection is now scaling delivery to meet growing demand from its European customer under the new agreement.
This repeat award reinforces Vection’s position within the NATO-authorised Tempest supply chain and highlights Australia’s role in supporting secure defence operations overseas.
The deal comes amid increasing demand in Europe for advanced AI-powered monitoring and big-data analysis technologies, driven by ongoing geopolitical developments. Vection’s contribution demonstrates the export strength of Australian tech in meeting complex, high-security requirements.
The framework agreement provides a structured pathway for continued collaboration, with a predictable flow of orders tied to the partner’s delivery schedule.
The agreement includes standard termination provisions if delays in delivery exceed 30 days and are not rectified. In addition to supporting new supply, the agreement extends existing programs and leaves room for further expansion up to December 2030. Subject to future awards, the overall program could reach a ceiling of €47.2 million.
Vection Technologies Managing Director Gianmarco Biagi said the agreement cements a long-standing relationship with a trusted European defence partner and highlights the maturity of Australian-developed technology on the world stage. “This Framework strengthens our long-standing relationship with a trusted European partner in the defence ecosystem, expanding Vection’s solutions and its role in the defence sector,” he said.
“It provides a clear programmatic path through 2030, with a portion already delivered and further significant orders on the way. We will maintain discipline in execution and update the market as we receive material orders.”
The signing of this agreement marks a defining moment for the Australian company, which continues to deliver extended reality and digital infrastructure solutions in one of the world’s most demanding sectors.
As defence forces across Europe modernise their digital capabilities, Australian innovation is now playing a key role in shaping the future of secure operations abroad.
