Modern Manufacturing Initiative Collaboration Stream Now Open for Applications



The Australian Government has officially launched the Modern Manufacturing Initiative’s (MMI’s) Collaboration stream, with program guidelines, a sample application form and other information now available.


The Collaboration stream is the largest component of the $1.3 billion Modern Manufacturing Initiative. $800 million in co-funded grants will be available for large projects that will help Australian manufacturing businesses collaborate, innovate and build economies of scale.


Minister for Industry, Science and Technology Christian Porter said the Collaboration Stream will see the Government strategically invest in projects that help manufacturers to scale up and create jobs, with investment targeted at supporting projects within the National Manufacturing Priorities.


“Australians know that strong, successful manufacturing businesses make for a stronger country. We want to co-invest in transformative, industry-led proposals that will spur private sector investment, encouraging our manufacturers to draw on each other’s strengths and harness our world class research,” Minister Porter said.


Project funding under the Collaboration Stream will support business-to-business and business-to-research collaboration across the Morrison Government’s six National Manufacturing Priority areas – medical products, clean energy and recycling, food and beverage, defence, space and resource technology and critical minerals.
