Each case study is categorised under one of the 19 growth opportunity areas, and shows how innovation and collaboration has resulted in the business unlocking value, leading towards success. 

FIAL says from revolutionary packaging creations to edible insects, these stories am to encourage all Australian businesses to continue innovating and find their niche.

For the 2022 edition, 11 PIDA winners have been recognised: Blue Harvest, Brookfarm, Edgell, Junee Prime Lamb, Kapiris Bros, Melbourne Coffee, Oasis Spices, Pana Organic, Shultz Organic Dairy, Wellman Packaging and Woolworths.
