Intended as a foundational event - the first time the ‘Blue Economy’ community has been brought together - it attracted more than one hundred participants representing diverse sectors and contributing deep industry expertise.
The forum was considered timely, well-facilitated and discussions were energised, optimistic and rich. There was a strong resonance with the vision of WA looking beyond our boundaries, and being the leading Blue Economy in the Indian Ocean.
Key themes from the discussions include: careful growth, coordinated governance, sustainable development, systemic risk management, technological innovation and infrastructure investment.
