Business Connect 2023 – Manufacturing sector service
NSW produces almost one-third of Australia’s total manufacturing output with capability across high-tech design and development, innovative research, product customisation, client support and repair.
The NSW Government will conduct an open and competitive procurement process to engage one or more service providers (suppliers) to deliver a manufacturing sector service, as part of the Business Connect program. This will commence in 2023.
From 2023 to June 2025, this service will provide tailored business advice, events, and other support. Services will enable manufacturing business owners to address challenges and opportunities to start, run, grow, adapt, and recover.
