Central Coast Industry Festival in full swing

Central Coast Industry Connect has kicked off an exciting two week program of events including workshops, networking opportunities and a 3 day industry expo

Mingara cc festival

The inaugural Central Coast Industry Festival and Expo is the largest event specifically for manufacturers and agricultural production companies ever held on the Central Coast.

As an initiative of NewH2 partners Central Coast Industry Connect (CCIC), this event is designed to support local businesses who have suffered significant challenges such as supply chain breakdowns, skills shortages, rising costs stemming from catastrophic bushfires, floods and COVID-19. The event will inform the community about the breadth of local manufacturing skills and help the local industry build resilience against future disruptions.

The Central Coast Industry Festival is jointly funded by the Commonwealth and New South Wales Government under their Disaster Recovery funding arrangements.

Local businesses, industry and community are invited to engage with the event, which is being held at the Mingara Recreation Club, Tumbi Umbi from August 22 to September 3.
