About This Session
Western Australia is building a practical, connected innovation ecosystem designed to turn ideas into investable ventures, new industries, and real jobs. This workshop is an “insider’s map” for anyone who wants to build, partner, invest, pilot, or expand in Western Australia.
Anchored around Western Australia’s state-funded innovation hubs - collaborative platforms that connect startups, SMEs, corporates, universities, and government - participants will learn where to go for support, how to plug into the right networks, and how to access pathways that accelerate commercialisation and growth.
