The Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing Hub (ARM Hub) is celebrating a monumental milestone this year – five years of revolutionising Australia’s manufacturing sector and supporting businesses to adopt and integrate new technologies with a focus on robotics and AI. To mark the occasion, ARM Hub is hosting the highly anticipated ARM Hub Industry Day on March 18, 2025 at its Learning Factory in Northgate, Brisbane. This event promises to be a day full of cutting-edge innovations and thought-provoking discussions, bringing together leaders from the manufacturing, AI, and robotics industries to explore the future of Industry 5.0 solutions and technological advancements.
The ARM Hub Industry Day will serve as a platform to showcase the progress made in Australian manufacturing, with a particular focus on the integration of AI and robotics into production processes. Over the past five years, ARM Hub has played a pivotal role in transforming the Australian manufacturing landscape, and this event is a reflection of that progress.
A glimpse into the future of manufacturing
One of the event’s key highlights will be the Scale-Up Think Tank, which will feature a powerful duo of industry experts: Michael Priddis and Greg Miller, co-founders of Faethm and Arena Mars. Their combined expertise in AI and innovation, as well as their extensive experience in guiding start-ups and scale-ups, will provide attendees with invaluable insights into the future of manufacturing.
Michael Priddis, who previously founded and led S&C before launching Faethm AI in 2016, has worked with enterprise and government clients across a wide range of industries globally. His work through Arena Mars, which supports start-ups, scale-ups, and venture capital firms, focuses on helping founders create impact on a global scale. Similarly, Greg Miller, with a distinguished background in leadership roles across Siebel Systems, PeopleSoft, and SAP, has played a significant role in shaping Australia’s digital landscape. Together, they bring years of expertise in AI, automation, and digital transformation.
The Scale-Up Think Tank will be a vital opportunity for industry leaders and innovators to come together and discuss the next steps in Australia’s digital and manufacturing evolution. By delving into how AI and robotics can address emerging challenges and enhance operational efficiency, Priddis and Miller will undoubtedly inspire a new wave of ideas among attendees.
A strong leadership team
ARM Hub continues to grow and evolve, further cementing its place at the forefront of Australia’s innovation landscape. Recently, the organisation bolstered its leadership team with the appointment of Dr Cathy Foley AO PSM, Australia’s Chief Scientist, to its board. This addition further highlights ARM Hub’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and driving excellence in manufacturing.
Dr Cori Stewart, ARM Hub’s CEO, has been instrumental in leading the charge in AI and robotics commercialisation in Australia. Widely regarded as an authority in the field, Dr Stewart’s leadership ensures that ARM Hub remains a pivotal force in Australia’s manufacturing transformation. As she explains, “ARM Hub is bringing industry leaders together to explore the next horizon of AI and robotics, helping companies stay at the forefront of innovation.”
A day of insight and networking
The ARM Hub Industry Day will not only feature thought-provoking discussions and showcases of cutting-edge technology but also offer exceptional networking opportunities. The event will bring together Australia’s top minds from manufacturing, AI, and robotics, providing a rare chance for collaboration and knowledge exchange. Attendees will have access to the latest ideas, technologies, and success stories that are shaping Australia’s future as a global leader in sovereign manufacturing.
The day will culminate in a fun networking evening, which will include a keynote address from QLD Minister The Hon Dale Last, offering a glimpse into the Queensland government’s ongoing support for the industry. It will provide a vibrant atmosphere for industry leaders to connect, share ideas, and discuss the future of manufacturing in Australia.
