A CLEAN TECH FUTURE
MADE IN AUSTRALIA

AUSTRALIA’S CLEAN-TECH INDUSTRY GROWTH CENTRE

Powering Australia is leading the national effort to grow Australia’s battery and clean energy manufacturing sectors, unlocking value from our abundant critical minerals, worldclass research capabilities, and skilled workforce. We envision a future where homegrown industries provide the clean technologies that enable renewable energy systems, grid reliability, zero-emission transport, and sustainable manufacturing.

This vision is centred on driving industry innovation and scale, supporting diverse Australian communities including First Nations enterprises, and positioning Australia as a clean energy exporter with a resilient, independent supply chain. The industries we support will not just reduce emissions; they will create sustainable prosperity and economic opportunity across the nation.

Our Story

CLEAN TECH IS RAPIDLY GROWING

The global clean-tech manufacturing market surpassed A$2 trillion in revenue in 2024. Yet, Australia risks falling behind unless it moves decisively beyond its strong resource base. Competitors worldwide are aggressively investing to scale their clean energy industries and capture export markets, driven by strategic national plans and industrial partnerships.

Our initiatives include supporting the commercialisation of home-grown battery technologies, facilitating supply chain partnerships, developing specialised training programs tailored to workforce needs, and much more. By fostering strong industry networks and breaking down barriers to market entry, we help Australian companies scale up and access both domestic and export markets.

Through collaboration and a shared strategic vision, Powering Australia is helping ensure that Australia’s clean energy manufacturing industries grow stronger, more resilient, and keep pace with global demand.
