    RDA will kick off the morning with a short intro, before diving into our guest interview and an overview of current grants.


    In Conversation With:
    Trevor De Groot and Bernadette Stack | De Groot Coffee Co

    Join us for a conversation with Trevor and Bernadette, the founders behind De Groot Coffee Co.

    Championing local manufacturing:
    Real stories and practical pathways for manufacturers

    Manufacturing contributes $2.17 billion to the Adelaide Hills, Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island (AHFKI) economy and employs more than 3,100 people locally. It's a significant sector that doesn't always get the recognition it deserves.

    The RDA Manufacturing Network Breakfasts shine a light on our 600+ regional manufacturers, share practical insights from businesses like yours, and connect you with the funding and support that can make a real difference.

    We look forward to seeing you there!

     
    Following the morning's presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to
    network over a light breakfast featuring produce from regional manufacturers.
