The Victorian Government has launched the Victorian Industry Policy to boost local industries and advanced manufacturing.

Key points include:

  • Skills Alignment: Ensuring workforce skills match industry needs.
  • Industrial Growth: Expanding the state's industrial base.
  • Emerging Industries: Capturing opportunities in new sectors.
  • Energy Security: Supporting the transition to secure energy sources.

The policy highlights the establishment of the Additive Manufacturing CRC in Melbourne, with a $116 million investment expected to boost the economy by $2.8 billion over 15 years. The initiative aims to create secure jobs, strengthen local supply chains, and foster a self-reliant economy.
