CORE Connect is where Perth’s innovators, founders, operators and industry leaders come together to shape the future of mining, energy and resources.
From emerging technologies and commercialisation pathways to capital, capability and collaboration, CORE Connect focuses on the practical realities of building and scaling solutions in the resources sector.
The French Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FACCI) and Young Energy Professionals (YEP) invite you to join the panel discussion: ‘Shaping Energy’s Future Through International Collaboration’ on 25 March 2026 at 5:30 PM at the GHD Building in the Perth CBD. The event will feature a moderated panel discussion followed by casual drinks and networking, specifically designed for the Franco-Australian business community in Perth and young energy professionals.
Panelists:
The discussion is built around the inherent complexity of energy innovation, specifically the urgent need to balance the “energy trilemma” while managing long-lived infrastructure within a heavily regulated and politically sensitive environment. Because these constraints can often slow down vital experimentation, we will highlight how cross-border cooperation and harmonised frameworks serve as the ultimate catalysts for change.
Sector Briefing: The Future of Resources, will examine the key opportunities and challenges shaping the mining sector in 2026.
This exclusive event will feature a keynote from Hon. David Michael MLA. Minister for Mines and Petroleum; Finance; Electoral Affairs; Goldfields-Esperance as well as panels featuring senior executives from major global producers, leading operators, and prominent contractors to share their perspectives on market outlooks, project pipelines, workforce pressures and the path to decarbonisation.
University of Amsterdam Professor Judy Shamoun-Baranes shares insights from her study of Aeoecology and its relevance in society.
The first event as part of the Murdoch University HBI Visiting Scholar Lecture Series
Through several examples of long term collaboration and societal engagement, Judy will demonstrate how they have used aeroecological research to sup-port aviation safety, the energy transition and inspire fascination and appreciation for life in the air.
Join Women in Energy Perth for their 2026 International Women’s Day celebration.
An engaging International Women’s Day panel sharing journeys of change, breaking barriers, and shaping a more balanced future for all.
On 24 February, from 10:00 to 11:30 CET, the Net-Zero Industries Mission (NIM), the Alliance for Industry Decarbonisation (AFID), and the Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP) will jointly host a webinar dedicated to the hydrogen value chain.
This session will provide a comprehensive overview of how hydrogen ecosystems are being developed and scaled, with a particular focus on hydrogen valleys, transport infrastructure, and storage solutions.
Participants will gain insights into key technologies, flagship projects, and collaborative initiatives and funding that demonstrate how interconnected hydrogen systems can enable large-scale industrial deployment. By showcasing practical approaches and real-world examples, the webinar will highlight how hydrogen can move from pilot projects to a cornerstone of regional and industrial decarbonisation strategies.
Join us to explore how integrated hydrogen value chains can accelerate the clean energy transition, strengthen energy security, and enhance the competitiveness of net-zero industries.
Build It or Kill It is a CORE Connect event designed to help founders, operators and industry partners sense-check real ideas before investing more time, money or energy.
A small number of participants will put forward an idea they are genuinely unsure about, and the room will work through it together — pressure-testing assumptions from customer, buyer, operator and funding perspectives.
This is not a pitch night and there is no winner; the goal is clarity.
Attendees will gain practical insight into how ideas are evaluated in the real world, contribute their experience, and build meaningful connections through honest, useful conversation.
Since its launch in August 2025, the WA GreenTech Hub has been driving innovation, building connections and supporting the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable future for Western Australia.
Now, let’s take some time to celebrate! Come and join us on Wednesday 25 February from 4 to 7 PM for a relaxed late-afternoon sundowner where we’ll celebrate our achievements, share what’s next in energy transitions and bring together stakeholders, industry partners and the wider community, while enjoying drinks, light refreshments and lively conversations in a welcoming and informal setting.
Don’t miss out, this is your chance to connect, reflect and imagine the future together!
We’re looking forward to having you there!
