AIIA Helps Local Industry Companies Engage with MNCs

During business expansion, local companies often look to multinational companies operating in the same market sphere for partnerships and collaboration. But how best to engage with such large scale enterprises?

Recognising the need for a conduit between local industry and multinational ICT companies, AIIA’s Local Industry Action Group (LIAG) has asked a wide range of multinational companies for information on their various channel support programs.

To date, some companies have responded with a number providing case study material to demonstrate how local companies have benefited from engaging in their programs. To read some case studies, click here.

Visit AIIA’s website to find information on the different characteristics of the channel partner programs, the contact details for the relevant manager and information on how local companies can start the engagement process.

AIIA is pleased to include other multinational companies’ channel programs on our website. For more information on how you can be involved in LIAG’s program, contact John Dean, Local Industry Policy Manager on (02) 6281 9410.
