Regional Development and Science and Innovation Minister Stephen Dawson has today launched the second Innovative Industries of the Future (IIF) event series, building momentum for future seminars and setting the stage for the major conference in 2026.
In the new economic event series, IIF will shine a light on the trends and technologies shaping the future of Western Australia’s industry and jobs.
Through an ongoing partnership between the City of Bunbury and South West Development Commission, Bunbury will again become a hub for discussions on innovative industries.
On the 27th and 28th of October Bunbury will host the IIF conference, drawing innovators to the region for another series of thought-provoking discussions.
This follows on from an initial conference held in November 2024, themed around global trends and future industries shaping economic growth and job creation, focusing on opportunities and challenges on the road to net zero.
Government leaders, international delegates, investors, entrepreneurs and academia converged in Bunbury for a deep dive into topics such as advanced manufacturing, renewables and international partnerships.
With strong stakeholder interest in continuing the conference, IIF will return in 2026. Expressions of interest are now open for organisations and individuals interested in being part of IIF 2026.
