The 2025 National Manufacturing Summit was a great success. 

The 2025 National Manufacturing Summit was held on 23 and 24 July 2025 at the Shangri-La Sydney. The Summit gathered leading representatives from all the major stakeholders in Australia’s manufacturing sector—business, unions, universities, the financial sector, suppliers, and government—to discuss the sector’s prospects, and identify promising, pragmatic policy measures designed to support industry. With the theme of ‘Manufacturing Australia’s Future: Local Strength, Global Impact’, the Summit delved into the unique opportunity to revitalise Australia’s industrial base, ensuring that it not only survives but thrives in the forthcoming decades.
