- Building a regional collaboration and multidisciplinary approach that takes a full regional ‘ecosystem approach’ involving multiple partners from across the defense supply chain.
- Building a viable pathway to sustainability post DoD funding.
- Addressing emergent critical needs – creating regional readiness for ‘future technology’, including industry 4.0 technologies and compatible workforce skills.
- Delivering efforts that target and support small and medium manufacturers, especially in traditionally underserved parts of the supply chain that are most vulnerable to falling behind in technology and security.
- The overall result will be a future ready region, that have the mechanisms to build capacity and capability in industry 4.0 technologies and workforce skills.
