NSW announces advanced manufacturing hub
The NSW Government has announced a manufacturing scale-up hub, AMRF Connect, in Western Sydney. Part of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) located in the First Building at Bradfield City Centre, AMRF Connect aims to help accelerate the growth and competitiveness of the manufacturing sector.
Supported by Western Sydney University’s Launch Pad and CSIRO, the hub will leverage local, national and international networks to connect manufacturers with investors, research organisations and other businesses. AMRF Connect will offer collaborative workspace and a comprehensive program of targeted masterclasses, networking events and experts-in-residence.
With domestic manufacturing capability firmly on the national agenda, AMRF Connect is part of the NSW Government’s commitment to boosting the NSW manufacturing industry and supporting growth of the already substantial expertise local businesses have to offer.
“AMRF Connect is a business connector and accelerator that will play a key role in supporting the development of a stronger manufacturing ecosystem in Western Sydney, with a central hub located at Bradfield City Centre,” said Bradfield Development Authority Chief Executive Officer Ken Morrison. “Sitting alongside the unique technical and expertise offerings of the AMRF, local manufacturers will have unprecedented access to manufacturing capability and networks that translate to real-word production and growth for businesses.
“This will create more highly skilled jobs and a stronger industry base for the future.”
Western Sydney University’s Distinguished Professor George Williams AO, Vice-Chancellor and President, added: “AMRF Connect represents a significant milestone in our journey to position Western Sydney as a hub for advanced manufacturing and innovation.
“By bridging the gap between academia and industry, we are not only enhancing research capabilities but also contributing to the economic growth and technological leadership of our region.”
