Summary
Aurora Labs Limited, an Australian leader in metal additive manufacturing and advanced propulsion technologies, has announced that it has been awarded a $1 million Defence Industry Development Grant from the Australian Government. This grant, part of the Sovereign Capability stream, is matched by Aurora's own funds, creating a total $2 million investment.
