The Tasmanian government’s Advanced Manufacturing Action Plan 2024 is now due for renewal, with an industry consultation survey opened for input to ensure it continues to meet the needs of Tasmanian industry for the next four years.
The Tasmanian Advanced Manufacturing Action Plan 2024 provides a framework of actions that the Tasmanian government can undertake to support to the state’s advanced manufacturing sector, enabling the industry to grow its capability, become more successful and sustainable.
The 2024 plan acknowledged the challenges and unknowns arising from the pandemic and also utilised outcomes and learnings from the 2016 Advanced Manufacturing Action Plan.
The plan identified four priorities for action to support the advanced manufacturing sector:
1. The development and attraction of a highly skilled workforce;
2. supporting the adoption of leading edge design, innovation, technologies and practices to deliver growth and improved business capability;
3. supporting increased collaboration and advocacy for the sector; and
4. supporting greater market identification and access, and industry promotion.
The broad objective of the plan is to encourage growth and development through advanced practices and technologies, and leverage the Tasmanian manufacturing industry’s strengths and advantages to expand in the global market.
