A year on from the launch of Western Australia’s innovation strategy, Innovation and Digital Economy minister Stephen Dawson says work is underway on measuring its impact on the economy among a series of other initiatives expected in the new year.

Mr Dawson told InnovationAus.com that while he has “no doubt” that the strategy, released in December 2022, “is already putting us on the right path”, work needs to be done “in terms of measuring everything and bringing disparate pieces of measurements that exist together in one document”.

“Anecdotally we hear good things happening, we hear new innovators and entrepreneurs creating businesses, but the [economic] measurement is probably something that we have to put a bit of effort into, so we’ll do that over the summer,” Mr Dawson said.
