Ideally located within easy reach of major South east Asian cities, Western Australia offers high-quality education and career potential, while enjoying a vibrant, sociable outdoor lifestyle.
The state’s 5 world-class universities include The University of Western Australia (UWA), which sits in the top 1% globally and was the first Australian university to feature in the world’s top 100.
The Data Science Innovation Hub is one of several innovation hubs supported by the WA State Government under the A$16.7 million New Industries Fund, designed to accelerate new and emerging businesses in WA.
WA’s connections to massive multinationals are a rich opportunity for research collaborations and project hubs. The state’s universities have industry links to companies including BHP Billiton, GRDC, Wesfarmers, Woodside and CISCO, allowing them to deliver outstanding technical facilities and industrial research institutions.
