The Federal Government $1.3bn Modern Manufacturing Initiative (MMI) has shown a clear recognition that Australia needs to focus and do a better job of commercialising its capability and scaling up manufacturing to optimise domestic and global supply chain opportunities.

It’s also shone a spotlight on six priority sub-sectors: Space; Medical products; Resources technology and critical minerals processing; Food and beverage; Recycling and clean energy; and Defence.

• The MMI roadmaps and what direction they’re providing for the sectors in the years to come
• What this all means for the other manufacturers and associated sectors not directly aligned to the six priority sub-sectors
• Role of state government and private sector to influence growth
