Digital and design awards MAV has demonstrated a strong emphasis on digital innovation and design excellence, recently winning a Technology & Digital Innovation award and Good Design Awards for MAVlab, signaling openness to innovative platforms, user-centric tools, and public-interest tech projects that align with modern government workflows.

Strategic partnerships Recent collaborations with ANU and GMF to study disinformation against local representatives, plus ongoing engagement with research and policy partners, present opportunities to offer threat intelligence, risk assessment, policy advisory, and governance analytics services.

Policy and capacity MAV provides policy advice, strategic capacity-building programs, and insurance services to local government, suggesting sales angles in training programs, enterprise risk management, insurance product enhancements, and scalable governance solutions.

Sustainability and risk The association’s focus on advocating for fair deals, resilient communities, and public safety implies potential demand for sustainability planning tools, resilient infrastructure analytics, and secure digital platforms to support multi-council coordination and compliance.
