Investor Insight
Adisyn’s innovative products and services leveraging a multi-billion-dollar Australian defence market and focusing on the underserved, high-potential SME market, provide a compelling investment case for technology investors.
Overview
Adisyn (ASX:AI1) is an ASX-listed company offering a comprehensive suite of products and services to SMEs operating in the fast-growing Australian defence industry supply chain. The company’s service offerings revolve around data protection, management and security. Adisyn has been focusing on cybersecurity and AI as the two key growth areas, confident these two verticals will offer significant growth opportunities as the data centre and cloud markets evolve.
The Australian Government plans to inject an extra $5.7 billion into its defence capability by 2027-28, with an additional $50.3 billion allocated for the following decade until 2033-34, surpassing previous projections. This funding surge will escalate the defence budget to approximately $100 billion by 2033-34, totaling $765 billion over the decade. Moreover, the government will earmark $15 billion to $20 billion specifically to bolster cyber domain capabilities during this period.
The surge in Australian defence spending is fueling demand for SMEs that operate in the defence supply chain. SMEs are ill-equipped to handle cybersecurity threats and need a trusted partner who specializes in cyber threat protection, regulatory compliance, and IT security infrastructure management. Adisyn is dedicated to becoming the go-to partner for SMEs aiming to enhance their sovereign data and security practices, particularly in sectors where national security concerns necessitate rigorous data protection measures.
To achieve this, Adisyn has laid out a four-phased strategic plan. The first phase, completed in 2023, focused on business restructuring, rebranding and bringing new management. The second phase, ongoing in 2024, focuses on the expansion of the advisory board, IP development, strategic technology partnerships, and business development. The company has commenced the expansion of the advisory board with the appointment of Harry Karelis in February 2024. Karelis will focus on identifying and securing strategic partnerships and assisting with investor relations and general business development activities.
In July 2024, Adisyn announced a collaboration agreement with 2D Generation, an international semi-conductor IP business. The two companies leverage artificial intelligence to advance the development of high-performance, energy-efficient semiconductor solutions crucial for AI and data centres.
The company anticipates the announcement of several key strategic partnerships that will significantly expand its current suite of cyber capabilities and distinctly set Adisyn apart in the marketplace.
During its third and final phase, scheduled from 2025 to 2026 and beyond, the company will aim for Australia wide expansion and acquisitions and strive to establish itself as a preferred service provider to SMEs operating in the defence supply chain.
Company Highlights
- Adisyn is an ASX-listed technology company focused on Australia's defence industry supply chain.
- Adisyn is aiming to become a preferred supplier to SMEs in the Australian defence industry supply chain, offering a range of solutions, particularly in the cybersecurity and AI domains.
- Australia’s defence budget is expanding, as led by the AUKUS security deal. Western Australia is leading the charge, with the state government aiming to double the value of its defence industry to $6 billion by 2030.
- SMEs involved in critical national security and defence projects do not have sufficient technological capabilities around AI and cybersecurity. Adisyn, with its vast experience in cyber threat protection and IT infrastructure management, is well-equipped to help these SMEs meet their technology and security obligations.
- Adisyn has launched a four-phased strategy to become the leading service provider in the defence supply chain market by 2026. Phase 1, which included business restructuring, rebranding, and new management, has been successfully completed. Phase 2, which is ongoing, will see the expansion of the advisory board, IP development, strategic technology partnerships, and business development.
- The company offers investors an attractive way to gain exposure to the fast-growing Australian defence industry supply chain.

In furthering that goal, 2DG has ordered a speciality ALD from leading manufacturer Beneq, utilising funds provided by AI1. The companies have entered into a material loan agreement on terms outlined in Annexure A (Loan Agreement Terms).
Atomic Layer Deposition Machine
An ALD machine is utilised in the semiconductor industry to deposit extremely thin layers (down to the atomic layer) of material on to chips. They are found in most semiconductor fabs around the globe.
2DG has ordered an ALD with specific benefits including:
- Liquid source precursor compatible
- Ozone source (O3) compatible
- Reaction chamber for 200 mm wafers, with substrate adapter for 100/150 mm wafers
- Plasma option, deposition temperature up to 400 degrees °C
These features will enable 2DG to achieve a high level of product readiness.

Beneq is the home of the ALD. In 1984, Beneq established the world’s first industrial production using ALD. Today, Beneq lead the market with products for R&D, semiconductor device fabrication, 3D and batch production, ultra-fast spatial ALD, and roll-to-roll ALD.
Paul Rich, 2DG’s Technology Lead, says“we have spent months specifying the perfect ALD system for our requirements. We canvassed all the major suppliers and decided that Beneq was best positioned to deliver the system that meets our complex technology requirements. I have spent my career working within thin film deposition to advance semiconductor technology and I am confident that with this ALD we will be able to accelerate development towards a commercially viable product that the industry needs. We are continuing development efforts with existing equipment to be ready for the new ALD installation so that we can hit the ground running.”
