Abstract

Dare to Venture: Startups and the innovation ecosystem in Western Australia, the eighteenth report in the BCEC Focus on WA series, seeks to better understand the startup and innovation ecosystem in Western Australia, to inform policies that support entrepreneurship and startups in the state, and curate an innovation ecosystem within which startups can thrive. This report finds that Western Australia’s startup and innovation ecosystem requires targeted reforms and investment to unlock its full potential, calling for improvements in talent development, gender diversity and access to capital and infrastructure to support a more diversified economy. The report highlights WA’s strengths in mining, energy and resources but WA should look to grow emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology and data analytics and finds that strengthening WA’s innovation ecosystem could create up to 350 new businesses, generating 3,500 highly skilled jobs and broader economic benefits.
