AmCham: Biotech Advancement and Acceleration: The WA Way

Business Luncheon with The Hon Mr Stephen Dawson MLC, Minister for Medical Research, Innovation and ICT.About the Event

The medical technology, biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector contributed $5.5 billion to the Australian economy in 2021 and supported 73,000 jobs across the country.

In June 2022, the Hon Stephen Dawson MLC, Minister for Medical Research; Innovation and ICT, led a Western Australian delegation to the Biotechnology Innovation Organisation (BIO) International Convention in San Diego, the largest and most influential global event for the world’s health and medical life sciences industry.

Minister Dawson will join AmCham’s next Business Luncheon to speak on the strength of Western Australia’s health and medical life sciences, and possibilities to build international networks for investment attraction and commercialisation.

This event will feature a panel discussion with delegates from the Western Australian contingent at BIO2022 – Dr Liz Dallimore (Argenica Therapeutics) and Jayden Rogers (Linear Clinical) – who will share their experiences of the conference and highlight how the State’s strategies and initiatives are benefiting their organisations and the industry. Dr Tracey Wilkinson, from the WA Life Sciences Innovation Hub, will moderate.

22 September is your opportunity to meet industry leaders, entertain investors, incentivise your team, and gain greater awareness of the Health and Medical Life Sciences industry in Western Australia and the opportunities it presents for job creation and economic development.
