VEID drives meaningful change in the electrotechnology and related sectors by backing - and at times directly overseeing projects that enhance the industry’s capability, resilience, and sustainability.


While funding remains a core lever, VEID also initiates and co-delivers strategic initiatives that solve system-wide challenges, unlock innovation, and improve long-term outcomes for the workforce and the organisations that support them.


Our focus is on scalable, transformative solutions, not just short-term fixes. Whether investing in knowledge platforms, workplace tools, training infrastructure or industry reform, VEID operates as a sector enabler: driving change, creating value, and strengthening shared foundations.


All projects are assessed not only on alignment with VEID’s purpose, but on their capacity to:

  • Deliver measurable outcomes

  • Support long-term resilience and innovation

  • Scale or inform broader industry adoption
