Are you one of Australia’s 50 Most Innovative Manufacturers? Nominate today

@AuManufacturing is thrilled to open nominations for the second iteration of our Australia’s 50 Most Innovative Manufacturers campaign.

It’s open to all kinds of manufacturers, and is completely free to enter. You can find a nomination form at this link.

This time around the theme is “it’s for everybody”. Because innovation is a tool every manufacturer uses, regardless of their size or  the perceived complexity of their operations or products.

The first cohort was one of outstanding accomplishment and depth, and we’re sure it’ll be no different the second time. (See here.)

Nominations close March 8. Finalists will be contacted on April 2 and invited to the breakfast awards event on April 18, the second day of Australian Manufacturing Week in Sydney.

We’ll be profiling as many nominees — through podcast interviews and feature articles — as we have time for.

A podcast version of our campaign launch presentation is now available. You can stream it below or access it wherever you download your podcasts. It features Martin Ripple, CEO of ANCA CNC Machines, Ian Lowrey, co-founder of Wireman, and Bruce Minty, Senior Product Manager at MYOB.

Australia’s 50 Most Innovative Manufacturers is an annual campaign by @AuManufacturing. It has been made possible through the generous support of MYOB, CSIRO, the NSW government’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility, and the Commonwealth Bank.
