Taiwan and Singapore: Advanced Manufacturing, Clean Energy Supply Chains and Technology Approximate dates: 31 January to 11 February 2027 This study tour will use advanced manufacturing, digitalisation, offshore wind and clean energy supply chains as practical examples of technological change. The focus will be on how education and training systems prepare people for that change, how capability is developed locally, and what can be applied across sectors in Victoria, through: • Advanced manufacturing and digital technology adoption • Clean energy and offshore wind supply chains • Local capability and approaches to developing domestic industry participation • Industry and education partnerships • Workforce development for emerging technologies • How technical and transferable skills are developed across sectors Taiwan will provide a particular lens on an emerging offshore wind market, including the development of local workforce capability, local content settings and the balance between domestic capability and international expertise. Its advanced manufacturing base also provides a strong setting for examining the interaction between manufacturing, technology and clean energy. Singapore will add a strong education and skills-system perspective, supported by existing relationships and its experience connecting technical education with industry and technology. The final program will be developed around the organisations and people best placed to illuminate these questions.
