13/10/2008 - Around 4,000 small and medium Victorian manufacturers will
now have access to world-class services that will help them become more
productive and competitive with the opening today of the $32 million
Victorian Enterprise Connect Manufacturing Centre at Dandenong.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Senator Kim Carr, Minister for
Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, said the centre is an
integral part of the Rudd Government's $251 million Enterprise Connect -
a national network of manufacturing and innovation centres designed to
help firms become stronger by focusing squarely on innovation,
creativity and excellence.

"Victorian firms can now tap into the latest ideas and technologies by
accessing a network with local roots and a global reach," Senator Carr
said. "In this turbulent economic environment, the need for firms to
innovate, improve productivity and find new efficiencies is more
pressing than ever." Senator Carr said an added feature of the centre is
that it will also be home to officers from the Industry Capability
Network of Victoria.
