NSW is turbocharging the development of its sovereign industrial capability in critical industries like defence, aerospace and manufacturing through a $15.2 million NSW Government investment in its Research Networks.
Minister for Science, Innovation and Technology Alister Henskens said this year\u2019s funding plus a three-year extension for the NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN), the NSW Defence Innovation Network (DIN) and the NSW Space Research Network (SRN) provides more opportunities to turn ideas into real-world solutions, jobs and new industries.
\u201cWe are investing in our human capital to help our innovative researchers unlock their potential and turn their ideas into solutions that will grow the economy and secure a brighter future for the people of NSW,\u201d Mr Henskens said.
\u201cThe defence and aerospace industry, including the space industry, and smart sensing technologies will be critical to our nation\u2019s prosperity and NSW is best placed to lead the way when it comes to innovation and commercialisation of research in these areas.
\u201cOur Research Networks foster collaboration between government, academics and industry to find solutions to some of the most complex challenges we face.\u201d
Through the NSW Government\u2019s commitment, the DIN is providing $450,000 in funding to support three defence innovation projects in its Pilot Project grant scheme:

Defence and Aerospace NSW contributed $3.2 million of the total funding towards the DIN and SRN. Director Mike Gallagher said the funding would increase NSW defence capabilities across all domains.
\u201cDIN is a key enabler for our sector that ensures that NSW remains at the forefront of delivering the high-tech capability to the Australian Defence Force,\u201d Mr Gallagher said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
