A $20.7 million investment for the Future Industries Facility in Newcastle will further establish the city as a hub for innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Albanese Government has today announced the University of Newcastle is a successful recipient under its regional Precincts and Partnerships program to construct two industrial scale spaces for technology innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The facility will enable the university to provide a problem-solving centre for community and small businesses at a purpose-built innovation facility within its Next Gen Precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will accommodate up to 16 academic-industry partnerships for rapid technology co-development from research to market across the energy, resources and manufacturing sectors, and the net zero economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Focusing on accelerating resource sustainability, workforce training and productivity solutions, the facility will contribute an estimated 740 direct and indirect jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will also provide students the experience of working on prototyping products for manufacture, and give small to medium sized enterprises the ability to collocate and test technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This project showcases the Government\u2019s commitment to listening to and working with local communities and addressing regional needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is funded through the Albanese Government\u2019s regional Precincts and Partnership Program, which is investing $47.9 million to support the transformation of seven precincts across New South Wales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The regional Precincts and Partnerships Program is providing investment to transform regional, rural and remote places.
