OVERVIEW
Innovation lies at the heart of human progress. Innovation hubs foster creativity and opportunities for education and industry growth while unlocking local, national and international partnerships and investment.
It is well established that collaborative facilities, shared spaces and shared use of technologies are a more cost effective way to operate a small business.
The WA State-funded Innovation Hubs foster structured collaborations between all tiers of government, universities, business, industry and the community to create new industries by linking students with mentors, startups with venture capital and small business with the private and public sector.
Innovation Hubs have the ability to grow jobs in specific areas and industries that are subject to disruptive forces, as exemplified by the State’s innovation hubs below.
