A new $30 million program will ensure NSW remains a modern manufacturing powerhouse by attracting more investment in industries such as medical technology, digital systems, clean energy, defence and aerospace.
\u00a0
Minister for Enterprise, Investment and Trade Alister Henskens said the new Future Industries Investment Program would drive growth in emerging industries and ensure NSW remains at the cutting-edge of modern manufacturing.
\u00a0
\u201cNSW is the manufacturing powerhouse of Australia and is home to a diverse range of innovative manufacturers that make and export world-leading products,\u201d Mr Henskens said.
\u00a0
\u201cWe need to ensure our state remains ahead of the pack when it comes to the manufacturing of high-value products and that means backing businesses to establish and expand their operations right here in NSW.
\u00a0
\u201cThis is about driving more modern manufacturing jobs in our state and generating more export dollars for NSW.
\u00a0
\u201cThis work will build on our already significant investment in manufacturing, to support businesses to locate and grow in NSW, boost local productivity and take our sovereign capability to a new level, which will drive our economy for generations to come.\u201d
\u00a0
The new program forms part of the NSW Government\u2019s response to the Modern Manufacturing Taskforce\u2019s report.
\u00a0
Initiatives identified in the response will be delivered under the coordination of industry expert and NSW Modern Manufacturing Commissioner Lisa Emerson.
\u00a0
Ms Emerson will next lead government, industry, academia and community partner engagement in the development of a new Modern Manufacturing Strategy that will support industry and NSW businesses to build the globally competitive capabilities that underpin economic success.
\u00a0
Ms Emerson said the strategy will consolidate existing plans and policies to ensure government efforts are directed efficiently, have clear measurable outcomes, and provide industry with the support it needs.
\u00a0
\u201cProviding support for local manufacturers, particularly at the scaleup stage, and the promotion of advanced manufacturing capabilities including technologies, processes, business models and careers will be a pivotal focus of my tenure, as we work towards the goal of economic prosperity for NSW,\u201d Ms Emerson said.
\u00a0
The Modern Manufacturing Taskforce\u2019s\u00a0Making it in NSW<\/em>\u00a0report and the\u00a0NSW: The Home of Modern Manufacturing,<\/em>\u00a0the NSW Government\u2019s response to the report, are available\u00a0online<\/a>.
\u00a0
\u201cI thank the Taskforce members, led by Tony Shepherd AO, for their expertise in reviewing the current situation and presenting a bold and clear challenge for us to address for further improvement,\u201d Mr Henskens said.
\u00a0
The Future Industries Investment Fund is an open, competitive grant program that will provide rebate support for eligible businesses that create a minimum of 20 ongoing net new full-time equivalent jobs in NSW; or invest a minimum of $3 million in capital expenditure (excluding assistance from this Program) within NSW as part of the overall project.
\u00a0
Applications will open on Thursday 8 December 2022, with further details available\u00a0online<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
