FUTUREMAP // Future-proofing Australian Manufacturing

IMCRC

Now is the time for Australian manufacturers to future-proof their business to remain globally competitive. Our industry must take advantage of the current wave of digital technologies that is driving new opportunities and production methods, business models, products and services.
Join us at one of three interactive breakfast workshops at this year’s National Manufacturing Week (NMW 2018) at Sydney Showgrounds.
Here, we will shine a spotlight on leadership, strategy, innovation and digital manufacturing (Industry 4.0). These workshops are specifically designed for Australian manufacturing SMEs, and are intended to help manufacturers to think differently about the opportunities that digital technologies and new business models pose for their business.
