Promoting a culture of innovation and entrepreneurshipĀ
We do this through our flagship program, Meshpoints, which exists to build a stronger, more resilient innovation ecosystem in WA. This program fosters collaboration among individuals and organisations, driving new initiatives that support local innovators and entrepreneurs. Through events, opportunities and collaborative networks, Meshpoints helps strengthen the WA innovation community.
Key initiatives include the Meshpoints Partner Network, which connects ecosystem players to work together on impactful projects, and the WA Innovation Ecosystem Index, which highlights the stories and activities shaping our innovation landscape. Our Innovative Society Fund, supported by Lotterywest, provides essential funding to fuel new ideas and initiatives, ensuring our ecosystem continues to grow and thrive.
