Message from the Director – Professor Dimitrios Georgakopoulos
The Hub was proud to participate in Australian Manufacturing Week 2025 as part of the Swinburne University of Technology’s presence. It was a privilege to engage with industry, academia and government partners at such a dynamic national platform.
A key highlight for us was the announcement and official commencement of an exciting new collaboration with Sutton Tools. This project will focus on the development of a Single Source of Truth (SSoT) platform for manufacturing – a significant step forward in advancing digital transformation across the sector.

The event itself was well attended and featured a range of informative sessions focused on capability building, skills development, and accelerating digital readiness. It provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen connections and showcase the Hub’s role in supporting innovation and industry-led research translation.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Suresh Palanisamy, Prem Prakash Jayaraman, Abhik Banerjee, and Faye Zaibak for joining me in representing the Hub and contributing to the Swinburne team throughout the week. Their presence helped reinforce the collaborative and future-focused spirit that defines our work.
