FLINDERS FACTORY OF THE FUTURE

Manufacturing Growth Accelerator Program

Manufacturing Growth Accelerator (MGA)

The South Australian Department of State Development has partnered with Flinders University to establish a Manufacturing Growth Accelerator (MGA) at Flinders Factory of the Future.

This initiative is enabling South Australia’s small businesses to accelerate the adoption of innovative and advanced manufacturing technologies by connecting these businesses with researchers and industry leaders.

The MGA program gives SMEs access to Flinders Factory of the Future for workshops and technology insights, opportunities to trial new technologies with their own products or processes, and the option to undertake larger accelerator projects for product or process improvement.

My Modular project - Supported by the Manufacturing Growth Accelerator

The Manufacturing Growth Accelerator is supported by funding from the Government of South Australia through the Department of State Development.

If you are an SME looking to tackle technological and manufacturing challenges or seeking to enhance your digital and advanced manufacturing readiness, we encourage you to get in touch with us to discuss your eligibility to be part of this program.
