    Demonstrations and Displays from:

    An 'AARP-ortunity' not to be missed on Dec 4th, at The Australian Automation and Robotics Precinct - located in Neerabup, just 30 mins north of the Perth CBD. We are delighted to be hosting the very first Global Robotics and Automation Technology Showcase - casting a spotlight on leading innovators and technology companies, as well as connecting both our local and global ecosystems, with international delegates descending in Perth, for West Tech Fest 2024. We are also delighted to be working with our panel partners - Curtin University and Invest and Trade Western Australia on facilitating a dialogue about connecting local and global ecosystems. 

    The 51-hectare site has been made available by DevelopmentWA, and is being operated by CORE Innovation Hub. The Precinct includes multiple test beds that can accommodate a range of vehicles, equipment, field robots, drones and other technologies. Join us at Australia’s largest test, R&D, demonstration and training ground - for emerging automation and robotics systems and equipment, remote operations and zero emissions technology. The AARP caters to startups, small and medium-sized businesses, mid-tier miners and Tier 1 operators - across sectors including mining, resources and energy, construction, agriculture, manufacturing, defence and space.

    Formalities will be hosted in the new state-of-the-art AARP Headquarters, including an Innovator Spotlight session, an industry panel featuring both local and international panellists, and an opportunity to witness both indoor and outdoor tech demonstrations, followed by a networking lunch to conclude.

    CORE is establishing the AARP as a world-class facility that is dynamic, collaborative, accessible and global. We guarantee it will be a morning of inspiration and innovation, and we especially look forward to hosting you on site to commemorate this special milestone for the Precinct.
