about us
We are Australia’s clean-tech manufacturing industry growth centre. Since 2019 we have been helping Australian businesses to scale up so that they can be globally competitive. Our work spans batteries, solar, wind, transport, transmission and distribution, critical minerals, First Nations and industrial decarbonisation.
We have a talented team of state-based sector experts across Australia who have built an in-depth understanding of the businesses, processes, barriers and opportunities that exist across the country. They are actively connecting local businesses, helping to consolidate demand, removing barriers to lower costs and ultimately helping Australian businesses compete on the world stage.
Through our national network, we have developed unparalleled intelligence across Australia’s clean-technology manufacturing ecosystem. Starting as Australia’s largest industry partnership in the battery and critical minerals sector, we have now grown our network to over 5,500 businesses across all of clean-tech.
AND WE ARE CONTINUING TO GROW
We have lots of exciting developments on the horizon that we look forward to sharing very soon. Make sure to visit our news page regularly for the latest updates and head to Seek to find out how you can be part of a once in a generation opportunity as part of the energy transition.

$19.93M funding boost
for Powering Australia
The team behind Powering Australia and the Future Battery Industries Cooperative Research Centre are delighted to have been allocated $19.93M over five years, to enhance industry and research collaboration, including workforce training for battery research, manufacturing, transport and, as part of the Albanese Government’s latest budget.
This latest funding is part of the Government’s broader Future Made in Australia Act that provides targeted support to address strategic and structural challenges in the economy, with commitments totalling $19.7 billion over 10 years.
The work we have done at the FBICRC over the past five years and our early work to establish the Powering Australia Industry Growth Centre, confirms Australia can be competitive across a broad range of renewables with the right technology, at the right scale, with the right investment mechanisms to support those efforts.
Shannon O’Rourke welcomed the additional funding and commended the Government for backing Australian know how, with a clear vision underpinned by targeted policy measures and substantial investment.
