The Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre (AMGC) was established in 2015 as a key plank of the Australian Government’s Industry Growth Centre Initiative. Today, it is an independent, industry-led, and not-for-profit organisation focused on transforming Australian manufacturing.

AMGC is a trusted delivery partner for Governments and Agencies using targeted co-investments to translate policy priorities into on-the-ground impact for Australian manufacturing.

AMGC has recently launched the SME Industrial Decarbonisation Fund. The SME Industrial Decarbonisation Fund is a $10 million co-investment fund which has been designed to help small-to-medium sized Australian manufacturers reduce their direct greenhouse gas emissions by switching from fossil fuel powered processes to electric alternatives.

The Australian Aluminium Council is the peak industry association representing Australia's integrated bauxite, alumina and aluminium industry. The Council provides a unified voice across the value chain, working with governments, industry and communities to support a resilient, competitive and sustainable sector that underpins Australia's economic strength, industrial capability and energy transition. The aluminium industry has been operating in Australia since 1955, and over the decades has been a significant contributor to the national economy. It includes six mines which collectively produce over 100 Mt per annum making Australia one of the world’s largest producers of bauxite. Australia is the world’s largest exporter of alumina with five alumina refineries producing around 17 Mt per annum of alumina. Australia is the seventh largest producer of aluminium, with four aluminium smelters and additional downstream processing industries including more than 20 extrusion presses. Aluminium is Australia’s highest earning manufacturing export. The industry directly employs more than 20,000 people. It also indirectly supports a further 55,000 families predominantly in regional Australia at pay rates 60% above the national manufacturing average. The industry contributes more than A$18 billion to Australia’s economy with annual export revenue in excess of A$15 billion.

SmartCrete CRC is an independent, for-impact cooperative research centre that empowers innovation collaborations to transition concrete for a sustainable Australia.

Working with manufacturers, architects, engineers, developers, asset owners and government, we invest $21m of Commonwealth funding in industry-led university-delivered R&D projects to develop new technologies and promote best practice to decarbonise concrete and achieve net zero by 2050.
