Who We Are
The Divinitus Group is an international consultancy specialising in Defence, National Security and defence market development, with operations across Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States.
Our principal business, Divinitus Defence Consulting, helps SMEs, technology companies and established businesses successfully enter, navigate and grow within complex defence markets.
We work with organisations seeking to do business in new jurisdictions, providing the local knowledge, commercial strategy, acquisition understanding and practical support needed to move from market interest to credible opportunity.
Our experience across Australia, the UK, Europe and the USA enables us to support companies looking to establish a presence, identify the right partners, understand procurement pathways, position their capability effectively and compete for defence business.
For SMEs in particular, entering a new defence market can be difficult. Procurement processes are complex, buying cycles are long, local relationships matter and each country has its own acquisition frameworks, regulatory requirements and commercial expectations. Divinitus helps bridge that gap.
Our Defence consulting capability includes:
• Defence Market Entry Strategy
• International Business Development
• Capture Strategy and Opportunity Development
• Partner, Prime and Supply-Chain Engagement
• Identification of Local Partners, Distributors and Strategic Alliances
• Defence Procurement and Acquisition Strategy
• Tender and Proposal Development
• Bid Strategy and Bid Management
• Australian Government and Defence Procurement
• ASDEFCON Tendering and Contracting
• US Federal Acquisition Regulations and DFARS
• UK and European Defence Market Navigation
• Commercial Strategy and Go-to-Market Planning
• Defence Technology Commercialisation
• Systems Engineering and Engineering Management
• Project and Programme Management
• Product Development, R&D and Product Realisation
• Technology Readiness and Capability Positioning
• Grant and Government Funding Applications
• Interim Senior Executive Management
• Sales, Leadership Coaching and Mentoring
We are particularly well positioned to support SMEs that have a strong product, technology or capability but lack the local presence, market knowledge or defence-sector experience required to successfully enter a new country.
Our role can range from strategic advice through to hands-on representation and business development support. We can help clients understand where their capability fits, identify realistic opportunities, develop relationships with primes and government stakeholders, prepare competitive bids and build a sustainable route into the market.
Rather than offering generic market-entry advice, Divinitus provides practical, defence-specific support grounded in an understanding of how defence organisations buy, how programmes develop and how SMEs can position themselves effectively within complex supply chains.
Alongside our Defence business, Divinitus Healthcare provides specialist consulting support to the medical device, MedTech, Biotech and Digital Health sectors. This capability draws on many of the same disciplines, including engineering, product realisation, programme management, regulatory environments, commercialisation and international market development.
Across the Group, our focus is straightforward: helping organisations enter new markets, win business, build the right partnerships and successfully deliver complex technology programmes.

Richie Bower is an international defence strategic business consultant, systems engineer and c-suite executive with more than 40 years of experience across military, engineering, technology and commercial environments.
His work spans Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States, with a particular focus on helping Defence and technology businesses enter new markets, develop commercial opportunities, navigate complex procurement and acquisition environments, build strategic partnerships and position emerging capabilities for growth.
Richie’s experience combines deep technical understanding with senior commercial and operational leadership. He has held senior engineering, executive and advisory roles across government, global technology companies, SMEs and early-stage businesses, and has led engineering, operations, programme delivery and commercial teams across Australia, New Zealand, the Asia-Pacific region and the United States.
A former Royal Navy engineer with 23 years of service, Richie brings a practical understanding of Defence capability, operational requirements and acquisition environments together with extensive private-sector experience. He has also advised businesses seeking to engage with government and Defence, supporting strategy, procurement, tendering, market positioning and commercial growth.
In addition to his Defence work, Richie has significant experience in high-technology product development and commercialisation, including medical devices, digital health, artificial intelligence, machine learning and emerging technologies.
His focus is practical and commercial: helping organisations understand where their capability fits, who they need to engage, how to navigate the market, and how to convert strong technology into sustainable Defence business.
