Manufacturing hubs

Our Queensland manufacturing hubs have been established to help you achieve your business goals with expert knowledge and valuable connections.

The network of 9 manufacturing hubs provides valuable on-the-ground support and intelligence, working with manufacturers across the state to identify real opportunities.

Local knowledge and strong industry and government connections mean our hub teams can give you information quickly and provide tailored support to empower growth, innovation and opportunity.
