The NSW Government has agreed to finalise the first private-sector tenancy agreement for the Bradfield City Centre’s First Building with global giant Hitachi, whose collaborative research model will attract advanced technology jobs to Western Sydney.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said the Japanese multinational would establish its Kyoso (collaborative creation) Centre alongside the Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) in the First Building in Australia’s newest city Bradfield, in 2023.

'Hitachi will be the first non-government tenant in Bradfield City Centre. This signals high confidence in the private sector for the vision of the Western Parkland City. It means more premium, high-skilled jobs and global career opportunities for the residents of Western Sydney,' Mr Ayres said.  
 
Hitachi’s Regional Vice President Mr Nakakita said: 'Hitachi’s participation in Western Sydney reflects our confidence in the significant growth opportunities in NSW and Australia. We are delighted that Western Sydney will allow Hitachi to showcase our co-creation strategies and deliver our global capability and solutions, for the benefit of our customers and the community at large.'
 
The Hitachi agreement is a result of a public tender process and follows the NSW Budget commitment of $260 million to establish the Australian-first full scale AMRF, which will create new high-paying jobs of the future in Western Sydney and make Bradfield City Centre the national capital of advanced manufacturing.
