It’s time to unlock WA’s potential

We are at the tipping point of immense possibility.

Each cluster exists in response to global need, but must play to WA’s comparative strengths. Clusters are a result of either an existing natural advantage, being at the right place at the right time in history or a legacy of the technology developments of the recent resources boom.
