Luminact
Luminact is a 100% Australian-owned and operated business specialising in professional services, systems integration and interoperability solutions for the defence industry and commercial organisations.
Need
To meet the procurement requirements for a large defence contract, while also preserving its working capital and maintaining capacity for future growth, Luminact needed to provide financial security.
Solution
We provided the contract security to enable Luminact to meet its contractual obligations and secure a significant export contract in the defence sector.
Luminact has built a reputation for delivering complex systems integration and interoperability solutions for the defence industry. When the business secured a significant international defence contract, we stepped in to provide the financial security needed to help unlock the opportunity and support future growth.
Founded to provide high-quality engineering program management and technical services to the defence industry, Luminact has grown into a trusted provider of professional services, systems integration and interoperability solutions.
Drawing on expertise across systems engineering, communications engineering, solution architecture and project delivery, Luminact combines deep technical knowledge with a practical understanding of how to integrate complex technologies into operational environments.
Securing a significant export opportunity
After building a strong reputation for delivering specialist engineering and integration services, Luminact secured a significant contract to support an international defence project.
This project represents a major milestone for Luminact. Export Finance Australia’s support enabled us to meet customer requirements while maintaining the flexibility needed to continue investing in future growth.

The project will enhance communications, situational awareness and system compatibility for the client’s land fleet. It will also support closer cooperation with allied forces, including Australia, enabling more effective joint operations and regional partnerships.
Joshua Stewart, Luminact's Director – APAC, said the contract builds on the business’s extensive experience delivering complex land systems integration projects and supporting defence capability outcomes.
“Luminact was selected as the Prime System Integrator, responsible for the design, engineering, integration, verification, testing, training and ongoing support of Command, Control, Communications and Computers (C4) capabilities. Luminact is developing a tailored solution that enhances communications resilience, operational effectiveness and mission readiness for deployed personnel.”
Support to help unlock growth
Like many growing Australian businesses pursuing international opportunities, Luminact was required to meet specific financial security requirements as part of the contract process.
Meeting these requirements, while preserving working capital and maintaining flexibility to invest in the business presented a challenge.
We supported Luminact with financial security solutions that enabled the business to meet its contractual obligations and secure the opportunity, while maintaining capacity for ongoing growth and project delivery.
Johsua said that Export Finance Australia played a critical role in supporting the contract.
“As a specialist defence small and medium enterprise, Luminact was required to provide performance and financial security arrangements as part of the contract award process. Export Finance Australia’s support enabled Luminact to meet these obligations within the parameters of its current balance sheet and customer requirements. This was a key enabler to facilitating the deal.”
“Export Finance Australia helped provide the confidence needed for both parties to proceed, supporting the export of Australian defence capability and strengthening regional defence cooperation.”
The contract marked an important milestone in Luminact's growth journey and demonstrates how Australian expertise can compete successfully in international markets.
