Testimonials

  • Clustering of companies and R&D organisations is proven as an effective accelerator for profit growth and technology commercialisation. Our cluster is already driving success and transforming industrial performance.

    Derek Buckmaster
    Director, Carbon Nexus, Deakin University & Chair, Advanced Fibre Cluster Geelong
  • Clusters are an ideal way to supercharge the capability of a sector by pooling intellectual horsepower and maximising the potential for positive interactions that benefit all members. Sharing and developing ideas within a trusted and highly capable group is much more powerful than guarding and protecting your ideas from everyone; and will result in collective success and world leading capability development. Deakin and the Geelong region are perfectly placed to support the development of ideas and future business growth in the composites sector and associated industries.

    Dr Matthew Dingle
    Co-founder, Carbon Revolution & Managing Director, FormFlow
  • The Advanced Fibre Cluster Geelong has formed out of the global centre of excellence in carbon fibre and advanced fibre industries which continues to develop around Deakin University and the Geelong region. This is a wonderful initiative and I encourage any forward-thinking companies and organisations to get involved to help create the ideas and jobs of our future.

    Professor Jane Den Hollander
    Vice Chancellor, Deakin University 2010 – 2019
  • The Advanced Fibre Cluster has become integral to our centre of excellence in advanced fibre and composites manufacturing, and product stewardship, centred around Deakin and Geelong. The group's success is proof that collaboration between companies and organisations, and partnerships involving business, universities and government - especially in these challenging times - can drive growth for industry and better outcomes for the community.

    Professor Iain Martin
    Vice-Chancellor and President of Deakin University Chair, Advanced Fibre Cluster Advisory Board
