Show Notes

Jens Goennemann, Managing Director of Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre sits down with Stephanie Christopher and shares his insights about the misconceptions of Australian Manufacturing and the untapped Opportunities for the future if we’re smart.

He advocates that Industry needs to take charge and be more responsible for transforming the economy for the better and our education system also has an important role to play in this.
