About This Session
The Next Economy won’t be built on AI software alone — it requires clean energy, a resilient supply of chips, scalable compute and data centres, high-performance connectivity, trusted governance, and talent that investors and partners can rely on.
This panel presents Western Australia as a live case study that is illustrative of the “Indo-Pacific Multi-Layer Next Economy Stack”, with discussions on how regional advantage translates into bankable projects, resilient digital markets and real jobs. Audiences will leave with a clearer insights into what can move in the next 12–24 months across energy, compute, connectivity, and trust rails.
