One of the many projects we were delighted to support in our time as an Industry Growth Centre. Success of projects like these depend on unselfish investments, from end market operators like Goldfields, who support a whole of industry transition to a future sustainable operating model. Great to see this recognition by InvestMETS calling out those who do the hard yards for our sector. Bravo John Kirkman and the entire ETP team, and all the vendors and customers who have just got on with the job at hand.

Proud of our long standing relationship with QuantumTX - which began by connecting mining and energy resources, using know how in areas like robotics and artificial intelligence to support government’s plans to be a leader in technology for other sectors such as space. “For Australia to compete internationally, we need to build that small business engagement,”  Peter Rossdeutscher FAICD.

As announced last month, METS Ignited Australia Ltd has successfully concluded our Industry Growth Centre Initiative (IGCI) funded by the Department of Industry, Science and Resources. Our goal has been to accelerate commercialisation of innovation in Australia, enhance industry skills and capabilities, and grow exports from Australia’s Mining Equipment, Technology and Services (METS) sector. In our eight years of operation, METS Ignited invested $16 million into 35 projects, attracting over 2.5 times industry matched funding from 76 Industry partners. The success of these collaborative industry projects commercialised more than 20 new Australian innovations, creating over 1000 local jobs, with those companies projecting revenues' over $900 million by 2025.   In terms of building capability, we trained over 190 companies through 24 Industry Accelerators, and delivered 55 Masterclasses to more than 920 industry participants. We invested in multiple innovation hubs, precincts, clusters and consortiums to continue our legacy, including CORE Innovation Hub, Australian Automation and Robotics Precinct, enviroMETS Qld, Future Battery Industries Cooperative Research Centre, Australian Innovation eXchange, Electric Mine Consortium, QuantumTX, and UWA Industry 4.0 Energy & Resources Digital Interoperability (ERDi) Test Lab just to name a few.   All of this was achieved through the dedication of over 50 staff members, board members and secondee’s, as well as the support of numerous industry associations and partners who worked with us to achieve a common goal. In our final newsletter I mentioned building innovation capability is not a marathon, not a sprint, but a relay race. We have completed our leg, and pass the baton on with the sector in great shape. We are extremely proud of where we see Australia’s METS sector today, and encourage everyone to keep working together, building capability for the benefit of all.   And finally, as we wind up our operating activity and say our goodbyes, we will continue to post success stories from our projects and partners through this channel. On behalf of all of the METS Ignited team past and present, I would like to thank everyone for your help and support in delivering a successful outcome!

Our CEO Adrian Beer delivered the keynote presentation at day one of IMARC 2023, highlighting the magnitude of innovation required to overcome the global energy transition.   “Energy transition is a fundamental challenge facing all industry sectors. Our industry faces a dual challenge, of both the transition to clean energy use in our processing and mining operations, and the increased demand for mining and minerals to support a sustainable future” He celebrated the achievements of the METS Ignited in supporting Australia’s innovation ecosystem. “As a proud supporter of IMARC for the last 8 years, it’s great to be here with the world’s top mining companies, global innovators, investors, researchers and technology innovators. The global mining industry is here to access Australia's innovation capability, to find a pathway to a sustainable future, together.” he said.   #IMARC #METS #innovation #mining #resources #technology #investment #australia Department of Industry, Science and Resources, Madeleine King, Ed Husic MP, InnovationAus.com,
