Availability depend on individual designers’/ design company’s financial resources.

  • manufacturing process can occur overseas where labour costs are lower
  • smaller company many require limited staff with multiple skills.
  • larger companies use variety of technologies to make processes more time and cost efficient.
24
Q

how does financial factors determine success or failure

?

A

Aus gov $747 million assistance package for Aus TCF industry, businesses can apply for grants
