The Department for Manufacturing, Innovation, Trade, Resources and Energy (DMITRE) is the South Australian Government’s key agency in driving economic prosperity in the State.
The department reports to the Hon Tom Koutsantonis MP who has responsibility for the State Government’s business portfolio as Minister for Manufacturing, Innovation and Trade, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, and Minister for Small Business.
DMITRE combines a trade and economic development role with minerals, energy, renewable energy and trade policy.
