West Tech North

About the event

Western Australia possesses a unique set of strengths and capabilities that define an ecosystem of innovation, collaboration and growth. By leaning into these qualities, Western Australia has an opportunity to lead Australia in creating a robust and vibrant investment ecosystem.

But this is not achievable without addressing significant challenges that are being experienced statewide. With innovation being a fundamental pillar to driving Western Australia forward, there needs to be investment across the entire ecosystem to support the development of outstanding world-class transformation. Through continued engagement, collaboration, and leadership between entrepreneurs, risk capital, governments, corporates, and academic institutions, this can be achieved.

But how do we get there? Join renowned venture capitalist Derek Gerrard and Founding Director of Tender Relief Eliza Carbines at West Tech North as we review the support frameworks and mechanisms in place within the Pilbara region to scale investment and identify what’s still required for growth. West Tech Fest co-founder Paula Taylor will officially open the event.
