Call to Action Despite the success of the Australian METS industry, a number of key challenges and ecosystem trends are threatening its ability to compete and grow in the global market place Relationships between miners and METS are more transactional than strategic, putting Australia at a disadvantage compared to more collaborative competitors globally. Australia is ranked poorly globally on collaboration which is a critical innovation measure. Australia has not been successful at transferring public sector research into commercial outcomes. Disruptive technologies are both a threat and an opportunity with their impact on the industry accelerating. Increasing competition from markets such as China and India. Investors overlook METS companies commercially, especially in early stage and in long-term capital. Despite the number of major mining houses and world-class research centres, few Australian METS companies have grown to become major global OEMs

Five Programs of Work The METS Sector Competitiveness Plan outlines five programs of work to deliver this vision for growth over the next ten years The sector has a compelling vision and strategy that aligns to and enhances the growth needs of the METS, mining and research industries. Collaboration across the sector has accelerated the rate of both innovation and commercialisation. The Australian METS brand and value proposition is recognised globally, highly valued and priced at a premium. The skills base enhances business capability and growth, and ensures the sector s sustainability and leadership in a rapidly transforming technology landscape. Supply chain participation is facilitated by global partnerships, world class clusters and the active support of capital markets to grow scale needed to compete internationally.
