• Grow the manufacturing industry in Western Sydney and NSW through access to improved technology and skills.

• Develop a world-class advanced manufacturing eco-system of firms, services and skilled labour that is self-sustaining.

• Provide the manufacturing industry in Western Sydney and NSW with access to technology and equipment that meets their current business requirement.
