SIM-PAC Live New South Wales — The Network Driving Change

Monday 17 November 2025
Cellos Grand Room, Castlereagh Boutique Hotel, Sydney

SIM-PAC Live New South Wales brings together the companies powering Australia’s energy transition and circular economy.
This one-day forum connects over 70 SIM-PAC Members and new participants from across manufacturing, construction, energy, and technology — sharing the real-world innovations shaping a sustainable industrial future.

Each session is concise, practical, and solution-focused, showcasing the systems, materials, and business models redefining productivity, resilience, and sustainability.

8:45 – 9:45 | The Enablers

The forum opens with the innovators building the foundations for transformation — from simulation and predictive modelling tools to new forms of infrastructure financing. Expect insights into how digital intelligence and smart capital are accelerating sustainable progress at industrial scale.

10:00 – 11:00 | Decarbonising Supply Chains & Managing Natural Resources

This session explores how industries are redesigning their operations to balance productivity and resource responsibility. Topics range from regenerative agriculture and circular product design to carbon and water management across supply chains — practical stories of transition from extraction to regeneration.

11:15 – 12:15 | Unlocking Productivity: Electrification, Process Engineering & Resource Recovery

Industrial performance and decarbonisation now move hand-in-hand. Speakers reveal how electrification, automation, and smart process engineering are cutting waste and improving energy efficiency. You’ll hear how manufacturers are turning waste into feedstock and embedding circularity into daily operations.

1:00 – 2:00 | Construction & Infrastructure Innovation

From natural and recycled materials to modular systems and lightweight composites, this session explores how Australia’s builders and manufacturers are reimagining what’s possible in infrastructure. These innovations are creating stronger, more adaptable, and lower-carbon buildings and components — built for longevity and sustainability.

2:15 – 3:15 | Renewable Energy + Battery Deployment

Solar, storage, and demand management are at the heart of industrial energy transformation. Presenters will explore how Australian enterprises are integrating renewables, stabilising costs, and achieving resilience through smart battery systems and flexible generation models — bridging the gap between policy ambition and on-the-ground delivery.

3:30 – 4:30 | Circular Economy & Recycling

Circularity is no longer a side project — it’s the business model of the future. This session showcases practical pathways to closed-loop manufacturing, from waste diversion and re-manufacturing to partnerships that turn by-products into value-added inputs. It’s where sustainability becomes tangible and measurable.

4:45 – 5:45 | Open Forum & Networking Drinks

An open discussion bringing together all delegates and speakers — connecting ideas, challenges, and opportunities across sectors. A relaxed close to a high-energy day, leading directly into the Awards.

6:00 PM | 2025 SIM-PAC Live Sustainability Awards

A celebration of Australia’s most impactful sustainability initiatives, recognising innovation, leadership, and measurable achievement across industry.

The venue — the heritage-listed Cellos Grand Room in the Castlereagh Boutique Hotel — provides an intimate Art Deco setting, purpose-chosen to encourage conversation, connection, and genuine collaboration.
