It’s that time of year again when everyone is making predictions for the forthcoming year. So, Kate B. of australianmanufacturing.com.au, attempts to answer the question in our headline. So, what does the New Year have in store?
The article does mention a few recent favourites in its list of predictions such as:-
- The strengthening of sustainability commitments
- Technology such as Industry 4.0, AI, with greater integration of automation, robotics and IOT devices.
- Workforce development in navigating and leveraging new methodologies and technologies
But more than the increasing influence and integration of the above, it is predicted that there will be focus on the following themes:- - Workforce development in navigating new working methods and technologies
- Leveraging Australia’s strategic Asia-Pacific position for greater trade opportunities
Collaboration as a key driver with partnerships between industries, start-ups and research institutions to magnify gains one to the other.
It all remains to be seen how 2025 pans out but for now you can preview in full the details of the above here.
