If you give a little - you get a little
Sponsoring Space Tank gets you exposed to tomorrows industry today.
Manufacturing in Australia finds itself in exciting and turbulent times as we begin the business of transition from old to new. With a view to the future of inner city manufacturing, Space Tank Studio is carving out an important new platform for emerging designers to find their feet.
Office based business incubators have been around for some time now. As the media focuses on moaning and groaning about losing traditional manufacturing off shore, an exciting revolution is beginning right here in our own backyard.
It was dubbed ‘the Maker Movement’ by Deloitte in 2015 but this movement goes far beyond the realm of 3D printing and CNC. Space Tank Studio is the first to build a creative manufacturing incubator, otherwise known as a Makerspace or as we like to call it at Space Tank, a Makerspace on steroids. Facilities like Space Tank will become increasingly important to inner city environments as urban development push our manufacturing capabilities out of town.
Sponsor the Space Tank vision and you will ge getting in on the ground level of a new direction in design.
