About the Event

The MTPConnect WA Life Sciences Innovation Hub invites you to join the monthly WA MTP Sector Spotlight Series event.

Our monthly breakfast series is an opportunity for representatives from across the MTP sector to connect, collaborate and learn about upcoming opportunities, and hear the stories and successes of WA organisations developing health and medical innovations. Join us over a light breakfast in the last week of each month at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

Join Chief Commercialisation Officer Colin La Galia and Chief Innovation Officer Dr Stuart Midgley in conversation with Dr Tracey Wilkinson for a fireside chat discussing the DUG Technology story, the future of green life sciences, and how anyone from the WA ecosystem can better tap into local high powered computing services.
