A 10 member-delegation representing Australian materials science and advanced manufacturing industries is in India from October 13-17, 2014, to explore collaboration with Indian companies in these areas. “The Australian Materials Science and Advanced Manufacturing delegation’s visit to India is significant in the backdrop of India’s ‘Make in India’ campaign. Australia with its strong research capabilities in new and novel metals and materials is well positioned to provide the Indian manufacturing sector with new solutions to support its global growth,” said Australian Trade Commission in a press release.
 
This is an initiative of the Australian Trade Commission and the Australian Government to promote Australia’s world class research capability and innovative technologies, and to help develop new trade and investment opportunities.
 
“Australia is a global leader in materials science and technologies in areas including metals, polymers, composites bio-materials, coatings, electronics, photonics and emerging processes such as additive manufacturing. Australian researchers and technologies companies have partnered with industries as diverse as automotive, aerospace, rail, industrial and heavy engineering equipment, building products, medical devices and semiconductors to develop new innovations,” added the release.
 
The delegation, which represents leading Australian materials science and technology research institutions, is visiting Bangalore, Chennai and Pune to meet with Indian manufacturing companies. The delegation has specific focus on showcasing Australian new lightweight materials and alloys, composites; polymeric materials and in exploring commercial, research and licensing partnerships with the Indian automotive, aerospace and component manufacturing and engineering industries.
 
Speaking about the Mission, Kylie Bell, Trade and Investment Commissioner - South Asia, Australian Trade Commission, said, “As the Indian government and industry implements the “Make in India” campaign the need for a globally competitive manufacturing and R&D sector is greater than ever. Australian Materials science research institutions and technology companies can partner with Indian manufacturers to contribute Australian expertise in the discovery of novel materials and expertise in advanced manufacturing technologies. With high-quality research institutions, specialist research and problem solving skills and strong capabilities in materials science and technologies, Australia offers Indian companies a proven track record and the opportunity to develop the materials of the future.”
