Advanced Manufacturing
& Strategic Industries

FORUM  |  25 JULY 2024

Mainstream discussions about manufacturing in Australia often skew toward the oily-rag end of production, focusing on welding ships rather than fabricating chips. However, changing geostrategic circumstances and supply chain disruptions have led to an unprecedented focus on building strategic capability.

The Advanced Manufacturing and Strategic Industries event, part of The Industry Papers series, opened up this discussion.

In light of the Albanese government’s emphasis on “Future Made in Australia”, this event highlighted the scalable manufacturing capabilities and identify strategic needs that must become focal points of attention.
