A new WAy: Shaping the future of Western Australia
What are our nine clusters?
A cluster is an action-oriented hub bringing together multiple players from across the business and community landscape. 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.
