CollabIT in Queensland

AIIA has developed a collaborative cluster for like-minded ICT companies in Queensland to improve their business opportunities and company growth.

Our 2008 program

The 2008 program of activities is developed from the recommendations of CollabIT participants.


In partnership with the state government, AIIA Queensland runs a series of half-day workshops for local ICT companies covering:

  • selling with a passion
  • maximising marketing
  • business skills for growth
  • accessing funds
  • legal issues of running a business
  • personal development.

At this stage, workshops are held every other month.

AIIA Queensland also hosts a major networking event for large national and international companies and local SMEs that enables both parties to identify potential partners.

Cluster capability register
CollabIT participants can advertise their capabilities in the CollabIT Capability Register, enabling them to promote their specific skill sets and learn where potential synergies with other companies may lie. The CollabIT Capability Register for Queensland is available online.


Economies of scale
Work in partnership with other cluster companies to create buying potential that would normally be limited to larger companies.


Multinational partnering opportunities
CollabIT's multinational partnering events can help unlock collaborative opportunities with large ICT companies. You'll hear speakers from multinational companies discuss their partnering programs and learn more about the development of successful relationships. Multinational companies also seek interest from the CollabIT network on subcontract sharing and supply and partnering opportunities.

CollabIT networking and event meetings
Our networking events and meetings are managed to provide effective networking and introductions to others participating in CollabIT.

Trade missions and trade shows
Trade missions provide opportunities for cluster participants to explore export market opportunities through collaboration. By joining forces within CollabIT, your company can leverage AIIA purchasing power to reduce costs at specific trade shows.
