Comments attributed to Regional Development Minister Don Punch:
"Local,
national and international leaders from industry and government will come
together in Bunbury for the inaugural Innovative Industries of the Future Conference.
"The event will spark critical discussion
around the forces shaping diversified economies, as well as showcase the new
and emerging industries driving growth and
supporting the journey to net zero.
"The
South West has so much to offer and is poised to grow as a major contributor to
the WA and national economies. There are opportunities presented by the
region's critical minerals and the emergence of green industries, and by the
creative and digital tech entrepreneurs that call this region home.
"This new conference series will showcase what the entire South West of
Western Australia has to offer both as an investment destination, and as a base
for innovative industries to thrive."
