Join CEDA for a major address by Premier Roger Cook, as he outlines his vision to make Perth a capital for the Indian Ocean Rim.

Already home to the world’s most technologically advanced resources companies, Perth is set to become the largest naval maintenance and shipbuilding hub in the southern hemisphere.

 

The rapid rollout of renewables, supported by Western Australia’s proven natural gas resources, are enabling new opportunities in advanced manufacturing and downstream processing in Perth, as well as the seven regional cities across WA – including in green iron.

 

The Premier will outline his government’s strategy to ensure Perth has the world class standards in infrastructure, skills, research and innovation necessary to strengthen our role as a leading economic centre within our region.

 

Creating quality jobs and business opportunities across Western Australia, the State of Energy.
