The manufacturing sector is looking for renewable and sustainable technologies and transitioning to a future that is higher skilled, more technologically focused

[Caption: Queensland Science… ADVANCED MANUFACTURING… making a difference]

Professor Alan Rowan

The University of Queensland

Queensland is internationally recognised in cutting edge science, solving society’s problems.

We’re all going to be living longer and the key thing is how do we remain healthy for longer?

We have the ability here to make diagnostic tools so that we can check whether you have a disease extremely early on so that it doesn’t become a complication.

Science and Engineering Faculty, QUT

We work at QUT here on a range of technologies including industrial biotechnology and engineering and bioprocessing. We work directly with farmers where we can take agricultural waste and produce valuable products.

Ultimately the biggest expense that developing countries have is food production. Agricultural feed supplement products improve the nutritional uptake and makes it more cost effective.

Our company manufactures feed enzymes—the research is vital for us. The university like QUT has the infrastructure, the people the capability to so we can generate world class technologically advanced agricultural products here.

Asia Pacific, Vice President, Cook Incorporated

Cook Medical manufactures personalised medical devices here in Queensland. We distribute them to 64 countries. The big issue for us is how are we going to service the developing world?

So we’re working with Queensland universities looking at ways we can improve patient outcomes. There’s some great research going on here in Queensland that are going to lead to real advances in medicine, and the delivery of healthcare. And we’re really excited to be part of that.

Small creatures flying insects can navigate with a very small brain and limited resources so the challenge is – how can we do what a bee does in a plane?

Dr Michael Wilson
Senior Researcher
Boeing Research and Technology – Australia

Boeing has been partnering with Professor Srinivasan’s laboratory on a research project aimed at taking what we can learn from birds and bees and make robots smarter... and that’s world class research.

Currently in America there are about 1 million plus patients which undergo the removal of the breast based on cancer a year. Europe has a similar size as the US.

We are developing cutting edge 3D printing technology platform which allow us to make this very complex shapes in form of a breast architecture tissue will grow into the scaffold that it is biodegradable.

We are bring it now into clinical trials within the next three years.
