Tender Description

The Manufacturing Integration Stream will support projects that integrate Australian businesses into domestic and international value chains, propelling their goods and services into new markets and fostering Australia’s reputation as a modern manufacturing leader. It will encourage and facilitate linkages between local businesses and domestic and international firms, increasing scale, supply capacity, and the ability to innovate. It will also facilitate the adoption of product standards and greater sharing and transfer of knowledge.

 
Quality medical products are at the centre of a healthy society. They can also be the centrepiece of a dynamic economy based on translating smart ideas into globally competitive manufactured products. Medical products make a significant contribution to Australia’s economic prosperity. The sector is responsible for some of Australia’s most innovative commercial successes. Australian medical products making a global impact include the cochlear implant, green whistle and cervical cancer vaccine.
 
For the Modern Manufacturing Initiative’s Translation and Integration Stream grant opportunities, an initial combined total of approximately $140 million is available from 2020-21 to 2023-24 across all the National Manufacturing Priorities.
