About Australian Manufacturing Week

The NSW Government is participating in Australian Manufacturing Week 2026 (AMW 2026), which runs from 12-14 May 2026 in Brisbane, QLD. Australian Manufacturing Week is Australia’s leading event for precision manufacturing and is being promoted for allowing significant opportunities to connect with industry professionals.

The event is organised by Australian Manufacturing Technology Institute Limited (AMTIL), the peak national body for the manufacturing industry in Australia. Participation at the event will provide the NSW Government with a critical platform to promote the capabilities of NSW manufacturers, facilitate investment opportunities and showcase its support for manufacturing infrastructure provided through the Advanced Manufacturing Readiness Facility (AMRF).

The NSW Government is committed to driving a strong and resilient economy. By fostering innovation, supporting local businesses and investing in modern infrastructure, we aim to create high-value jobs and strengthen supply chains across communities.

Our programs foster collaboration among industry, research and education to develop a skilled workforce and a competitive manufacturing sector. This approach ensures sustainable development, attracts investment and positions NSW as a leader in advanced manufacturing and economic resilience.
