Purpose and Program Overview
The Advanced Manufacturing Innovation and Growth, AMIG Voucher System, was a Tasmanian Government initiative designed to support advanced manufacturers in enhancing their competitiveness and sustainability. The program provided matched funding to encourage innovation, adoption of new technologies, and development of strategic growth capabilities.
While the AMIG voucher system, as named, is no longer active, its intent continues through current programs managed by the Department of State Growth, such as the Advanced Manufacturing Productivity Grant Program. These programs offer grants between $1,500 and $20,000 to help Tasmanian manufacturers pursue innovation and efficiency improvements.
The broader role of the program is to strengthen Tasmania’s advanced manufacturing sector, improve productivity, support export growth, and build capability in areas aligned with the Tasmanian Advanced Manufacturing Action Plan.
