AMGC Industry Edge
Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre Ltd
Our purpose is to transform Australian manufacturing to generate the demand for jobs and increase economic prosperity
July 4, 2024
Last week I was invited to appear and provide my thoughts before a New South Wales Government Standing Committee investigating the procurement practices of New South Wales government agencies and the impact on social development.
A selection of NSW AMGC members joined me to provide their capable knowledge and expertise on this topic. The committee heard from Battery manufacturer Energy Renaissance, food manufacturer Harvest B, aerial vehicle manufacturer Carbonix, agritech manufacturer ICT International and multi-discipline contract manufacturer Romar Engineering.
I welcomed this opportunity to represent and give a voice to our NSW manufacturers, but the message can be echoed throughout all jurisdictions – Federal, State, Territory or Local Governments. We need to use procurement as a lever to grow Australian manufacturing.

Industry Sportlight
With the tabling of the Future Made In Australia Act to Parliament yesterday, The Australian newspaper took the time to speak to several Australian manufacturers and AMGC members about what is required to truly Make it In Australia.
The feature also included insights from AMGC about how to capitalise on Australia’s manufacturing opportunity.
It is worth picking up a copy of the newspaper today. (NOTE: Online content behind paywall)
