The Industry Papers Series – Advanced Manufacturing and Strategic Industries

Sydney Papers | 25 July

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 shocks have now put an unprecedented focus on building strategic capability.

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

At a time when the Albanese government has emphasised a "Future Made in Australia," this event seeks to highlight the bright spots in manufacturing capability that can scale and to identify strategic needs that must become focal points of attention.

This Sydney-based event will cover issues ranging from:

Quantum computing and quantum sensing: Building new industries
From fabless semiconductor expertise to a foundry future?
Material science expertise: Our manufacturing competitive advantage
Satellites and the new space industry frontier
Nanofabrication and photonics
The future of our National Facilities and cooperative growth

The forum is the NSW leg of a four-city series focusing on how Australia will achieve a more complex economy via industry transition.

Join us in Sydney for an insightful discussion on the future of advanced manufacturing and strategic industries in Australia.
