The I3Hub is an initiative to create an independent, not-for-profit network of I3 (Industrial Internet Innovation) Hubs. Its vision is for Australia to become a leading market and supplier of Industrial Internet Technology – where Australian companies will participate in global inter-company value chains and networks, and vertical integration of flexible and agile (manufacturing) systems. It will also hoped that this will facilitate digital end-to-end engineering across the entire value chain (see iManufacturing White Paper). Its mission is to inspire and transform Australian businesses, which will create a Connected Innovation Marketplace (CIM) where our customers and partners will collaborate and experience what is possible today and the potential futures associated with the industrial internet.
