The Sunshine Coast is a prime spot for advanced manufacturing businesses. The region has a lot to offer, from a skilled workforce to great infrastructure, making it an ideal place for innovative companies to set up shop.
One standout example is Dave Biggar, an advanced manufacturing entrepreneur making waves on the Sunshine Coast. His companies - ZONE RV lightweight caravans, Cure Marine boat building, One Composites and Mode Canopies - are leading the way with cutting-edge technology and forward-thinking designs. Dave and his team are creating high-end luxury adventuring equipment that's globally competitive. They've got the largest 3D printer in the southern hemisphere, are building drones for the Australian Government and even crafted a 70-foot catamaran entirely from carbon fibre.
David's success really shows how much potential the Sunshine Coast has as a hub for advanced manufacturing. It's a fantastic place for businesses to grow and innovate.
