An event hosted by the WA School of Mines for the wider Kalgoorlie mining community to connect with Innovation Central Perth (ICP). The session will deep dive into the role of digital technology to solve challenges across leading mining operators and METS companies in the Goldfields.

Featuring subject matter experts, academic and industry leaders, as well as student interns, the session will explore how industry can leverage ICP and WASM to support digital transformation in the Goldfields. We will discuss the benefits of cross-discipline collaboration and showcase how valuable this is within digital transformation projects.

This session is also an opportunity for local organisations to find out about a fully funded project opportunity to work with ICP and WASM to digitise a manual process within their organisation. Sponsored by METS Ignited, a local organisation will have the opportunity to undertake a rapid prototype, proof of concept or business model innovation project with ICP valued at $10K.

This event is free and open to everyone in the WA Innovation Ecosystem.
