AUSTRALIA’S CLEAN-TECH INDUSTRY GROWTH CENTRE
Powering Australia is working nationally to develop Australia’s battery and clean-tech manufacturing sectors. We strive to add value to our abundant critical minerals, world-class research, and skilled workforce. We envision a future where homegrown industries produce the technologies that contribute to renewable energy systems, grid reliability, zero-emission transport, and industrial decarbonisation for national benefit.
We are working to position Australia as a competitive clean energy exporter with secure, independent supply chains founded on innovation and market competitive scale.
CLEAN TECH IS RAPIDLY GROWING
For Australia to remain competitive, we need to move beyond mineral extraction into value adding activities and domestic manufacturing. Australia’s long-term prosperity depends on our ability to translate our natural advantages into advanced home-grown technologies.
Powering Australia offers a strategic framework to make this transition possible with initiatives designed to accelerate the commercialisation of Australian battery technologies, bridge gaps in the supply chain, and equip the workforce with the specialised skills required for the energy transition.
Through collaboration and a clear strategic vision, Powering Australia is working to ensure our domestic clean tech manufacturing industries are built to last.
ENABLING AUSTRALIA’S CLEAN-TECH TRANSITION
Powering Australia has received a total of $34million over five years from the Federal Government to drive industry development across clean-tech manufacturing, promote collaboration and partnerships, promoting First Nations business opportunities and has a particular focus on the battery sector.
This funding forms part of the broader Future Made in Australia Act, which commits $19.7 billion over ten years to address structural and strategic challenges in the economy.
Powering Australia operates five nodes across five states, and focus on three key areas:
1. Connect
We bring together miners, manufacturers, researchers, First Nations enterprises, investors and government.
2. Commercialise
Supporting industry networks to facilitate scale, competitiveness and innovation of clean manufacturing technologies.
3. Capability
Building the workforce of the future to support cleantech manufacturing and the energy transition.
