How Meshpoints is building a thriving WA innovation ecosystem

In this session, Charlie Gunningham, Head of Ecosystem Engagement at Meshpoints, will outline how the next phase of Meshpoints will operate, building on the foundations of 2022–2025.

This includes:

• Refreshed funding opportunities for the ecosystem
• New ways for partner organisations and individuals to contribute and collaborate

There will be time for open Q&A, followed by an optional 90-minute workshop (9:00–10:30am) for those who want to dive deeper into the first upcoming funding round. Applications for this round will open on 4 February 2026.

This session is ideal for founders, ecosystem builders, community leaders, and organisations interested in shaping the future of innovation in WA.
