Innovation and the start up ecosystem in Western Australia sundowner
700 Wellington Street
Perth
WA 6000
The Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre invites you to join us as our guest for the release of our exciting new research at this special sundowner event.
Startups, and the innovation ecosystem in which they operate, are important drivers of employment and economic growth and a key source of new products and services. As well as driving innovation, startups create wealth, attract investment and give access to new market opportunities.
The importance of a strong innovation ecosystem is well recognised by industry and government, with numerous Western Australian government strategies seeking to develop key elements of the innovation ecosystem.
This new Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre report seeks to better understand the startup and innovation ecosystem in Western Australia, in order to inform policies that support entrepreneurship and startups in the state, and curate an innovation ecosystem within which startups can thrive.
This report establishes a novel innovation and entrepreneurship index that tracks the trajectory of WA’s innovation and entrepreneurial system. The report also uses economic modelling to highlight key drivers of success and compares WA to other states and territories across the nation, with recommendations to mitigate fragmentation in the ecosystem and deliver a Western Australian startup ecosystem that is globally recognised.
Hear from BCEC report lead authors Dr Daniel Kiely, Senior Research Fellow, and Dr Abebe Hailemariam, Senior Research Fellow, both of BCEC, as they present the latest research findings, followed by a panel of industry experts, and networking and refreshments as we close out another busy year.
