What a turnout for our last of the #HunterInnovationFestival Roadshow sessions! It was such a pleasure to moderate a great panel discussion, super charged by a warm welcome from the new Muswellbrook Shire Council Mayor Cllr #JeffDrayton and a fantastic address from Senator the Hon #TimAyres, Assistant Minister for Manufacturing. We are in a unique but fortunate position as the economic powerhouse of the #Hunterregion and there is a concentrated focus on progressing and leveraging our infrastructure, resilience and innovativeness. Minister Ayers highlighted the rationale behind building industrial capability and National security and economic resilience: 1: Our position has slipped internationally in manufacturing self sufficiency  2: With our above and below ground resources, we are in a position to do well out of the Great Industrial Transformation. In Minister Ayers words “there is no country you would rather be”. 3: We need to ensure investment stays and grows within Regions as opposed to retreating to big cities. It was also interesting to hear of the tax credits available for manufacturing onshore - something I hope will be a major incentive to our future position. Huge thank you to our panelists Boris Novak, BE(ELEC) GAICD , Clare Larkin-Sykes , Rob Cooper and Brett Thomas Your experience, insights and willingness to help innovators, business owners and communities is energising. Three key takeaways from our chat included: Mindset - a confident one (we have done this before) and a curious one (take the blinkers off - what are the opportunities?) Time - we have time but we need to use it! On the other side of the coin, it will take time to get where we want to go Support - there are people, agencies and organisations here to help. Reach out, ask questions, get connected. And of course thanks to the amazing team that helped this all happen!
