The Advanced Fibre Cluster Geelong has teamed up with DMTC Ltd and the Geelong Manufacturing Council to deliver a series aimed at growing sovereign manufacturing capability.
The series is in response to a report released last July, commissioned and supported by DMTC Ltd, highlighting the impressive carbon fibre and composite manufacturing capabilities across Australian industry and academia. The report was designed to provide strong foundations for DMTC Ltd to begin building Australia’s sovereign industrial capability and supply chain. In particular, the report identified barriers that prevent smaller SMEs from engaging with and contributing to larger supply chains.
The first instalment in the Sovereign Capability Development Series, The Composites Advantage, will feature a range of experts from composites R&D, SME & large manufacturers and buyers. Presenters will explore how the composites manufacturing industry has overcome challenges, the significant advantages of composites use and how composites capabilities will help drive sovereign manufacturing development.
The Composites Advantage event takes place in November
