How the $15B NRFC Is Shaping Australia’s Industrial Future
The National Reconstruction Fund Corporation is one of Australia’s most significant public funds, set up to help reshape and diversify Australia’s economic landscape.
The fund has $15 billion to invest commercially in future-critical sectors including renewables, critical minerals, and medical science. Part of its mandate is to “crowd in” private institutional investors who can put capital into national priorities while pursuing their own mandates for strong long-term returns.
Join us to hear from Dr Mary Manning, Chief Investment Officer, as she shares insights on
- The fund’s priority areas — how and where it is deploying capital
- How the fund engages with private investors across industries
- How institutional capital can support and benefit from Australia’s industrial transformation
