en.Wedoany.com Reported - Australian Manufacturing Week (AMW) 2026 concluded yesterday, with host state Queensland maintaining a prominent position throughout the exhibition. On the final day of the show (14 May), the Queensland Pavilion, located at the centre of the exhibition hall, remained bustling with visitors.

The Queensland Government is prioritising support for local manufacturing, particularly in the sector supplying equipment to the mining industry. Mining was the state's largest industry in the 2023-24 financial year, with a nominal Gross Value Added (GVA) of A$61.6 billion, accounting for 12.9% of Queensland's GVA over the same period.

On 6 May, the Queensland Government released a new regional plan aimed at advancing the mining and resources industry in Far North Queensland, planning to collaborate with eight local councils to strike a balance between housing, employment and economic development. Manufacturing provides critical machinery and equipment for the mining sector, underpinning Queensland's extraction of its abundant globally demanded minerals. Last year, manufacturing contributed A$29 billion to the state's GVA and employed 175,000 people, making it the state's eighth-largest industry by employment.

Australian Manufacturing Week is organised by the Australian Manufacturing Technology Institute Limited and was held from 12 to 14 May 2026 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.
