The Department of State Development invites South Australian manufacturers to apply for up to $50,000 in matched funding to support the adoption of productivity-boosting technologies.

The new Manufacturing Adoption Program (MTAP) recognises the transformative potential of Industry 4.0 technologies and will support small and medium sized enterprises with the upfront costs associated with adoption.

Eligible MTAP projects will enable the development of new or enhanced products, support entry into new markets and/or increase the productivity and competitiveness of the business.

Relevant technologies may include, but are not limited to:

• Artificial intelligence
• Augmented and virtual reality
• Additive manufacturing
• Advanced composite materials
• Robotics and automation
• Machine learning and data analytics
• Internet of Things
• Blockchain
• Optics and photonics
• Quantum technologies

The MTAP aligns with the objectives of South Australia’s Advanced Manufacturing Strategy – which aims to guide future industry and government collaboration, grow manufacturing, and drive South Australia’s economic transition towards a knowledge-based, resilient, and greener economy.
