GMC is pleased to announce Deputy Prime Minister the Hon Richard Marles will address the GMC Technology & Innovation Summit on Thursday.
At GMC’s 2024 T&I Summit, DPM Marles reflected on the importance of manufacturing to Geelong, and his hopes for Australia.
“Our challenge as a nation – and I feel like Geelong is very much at the centre of this – is to climb the ladder of technology, to increase complexity within our economy,” he said. “The remarkable success of our primary commodity exports continues to hollow out value-adding manufacturing.”
Two years on, many things have changed and many have stayed the same. We look forward to hearing from Member for Corio, the Hon Richard Marles, as he welcomes his Ministerial colleague, the Minister for Industry and Innovation, Senator the Hon Tim Ayres, to Geelong – and our incredible line-up of speakers discuss the future of manufacturing in Australia and steps towards greater self-reliance for the nation.
This is your last chance to secure a spot for this rare opportunity to hear from the leaders helping shape Australia’s industrial future.
