PCB Connect 2025: Full Day Event Registration

This special event is dedicated to advancing Australia’s sovereign manufacturing excellence, to set a course for future growth and underpin future industry opportunities.

Hosted by Regional Development Australia Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast and proudly supported by the Australian Industry & Defence Network (AIDN) and the Manufacturing Excellence Forum Sunshine Coast (MEFSC).

This industry-led forum and expo is dedicated to exploring how Australia’s changing manufacturing landscape is opening new challenges and opportunities for developing enhanced sovereign industrial capability, particularly in our regions. With these changes we need to build resilience, agility, and collaboration across and within our electronics supply chains.

This event will bring together industry, government and research leaders from across Australia in a conversation about realising our national advanced manufacturing aspirations. The discussion will focus on existing strengths, gaps in the supply chain, and opportunities for growth.

EVENT VISION: To spotlight advanced manufacturing capability and opportunities within the Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast region and beyond, demonstrating why enhanced capability in our PCB supply chains present an enabler for further sovereign capabilities and future industries.

EVENT GOALS:
• Put a spotlight on Australia’s advanced manufacturing capabilities, particularly in the regions.
• Centre discussions around the PCB supply chain to address gaps, opportunities, and game-changing strategies.
• Foster meaningful collaborations between industry, government, and education sectors.
