Innovators Lunch | Future of Manufacturing in Australia

In partnership with the Hunter Manufacturing Awards, we invite you to join us on July 11, 2025, at the University of Newcastle’s Q Building for an insightful fireside chat. Together, we’ll explore the implications of a future manufactured in Australia and its impact on innovators, manufacturers, and the broader Hunter region.

This lunchtime event will bring together industry leaders, policy experts, and regional innovators to unpack the opportunities, challenges, and funding pathways tied to the government’s national manufacturing agenda. With a strong regional lens, the conversation will focus on how the Hunter can play a leading role in Australia’s future industrial landscape.

Held at the Q Building in Newcastle, this is a must-attend event for manufacturers, researchers, and innovators looking to understand and contribute to the next era of Australian manufacturing.

The Innovators Lunch is $30 for non-members and free for Hunter iF Members. A light lunch will be provided, followed by the panel session and networking opportunities.

Proudly hosted by Hunter iF Limited and supported by our partners, Hunter Manufacturing Awards, I2N, Hyperweb and The Business Centre, helping drive innovation in the manufacturing sector.
