About this event
Rebuilding Australia: the role of manufacturing in creating a stronger nation
Guest Speaker: Bernard Salt AM
The coming of the coronavirus has changed Australia and the Australians. We are more focussed on the idea of self-sufficiency - especially when it comes to manufacturing. Australia will strengthen its manufacturing capabilities during the 2020s, particularly in Melbourne’s South East manufacturing heartland.
New businesses, new technology, perhaps even new markets will drive a new generation of businesses focussed on delivering best quality products and services from Melbourne’s South East. But what are the skills, the training, the support mechanisms that will be required in the 2020s? Now is the time to think boldly - not so much about the challenges that lie ahead, but of the opportunities.
Bernard Salt AM is widely regarded as one of Australia’s leading social commentators by business, the media and the broader community. Bernard currently heads The Demographics Group which provides specialist advice on demographic, consumer and social trends for business. Prior to that Bernard founded KPMG Demographics.
Bernard writes a weekly column for The Australian newspaper that deal with social, generational and demographic matters.
SEBN started as a manufacturing network group in 1992. It became part of the City of Greater Dandenong in 1998, and has grown to be the longest running business network provider for companies in the south east region.
SEBN is about encouraging business to think, and supporting them to act. Its role is to bring people together to strengthen manufacturing knowledge and capability in the south east region. It’s continually evolving to meet and stay ahead of industry needs, delivering practical and specialised services.
