Future by Design - Deep Dive into Leadership and Innovation

A Future by Design - Academy of the Future is a groundbreaking initiative designed to propel Western Australia into the forefront of global innovation. In partnership with some of the world’s leading thought leaders and industry experts, this program offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the latest advancements in technology, leadership, and innovation.


Our next session is a Deep Dive Session where we explore ‘Leadership in Innovation’.

As the world rapidly evolves, so too does the thinking around what this means for us in the future, what exciting developments are up and coming, what legal and ethical decisions we need to explore as humans, and how we can navigate through this competing environment.

Western Australia has long been known for its pioneering spirit and strong innovation ecosystem.

Through our sessions we provide local leaders and innovators access to the latest knowledge, tools, and networks to remain competitive on the global stage.

Be involved the conversation, expand your mindset and share conversation around these topics with our world-class speakers and panel members.
