3 reasons to join CORE’s Energy & Mining Innovation Ecosystem
CORE member and Hot 30 Winner, Matthew Stead co-founder of Ping Services put it best when he described some of the challenges one can face when establishing a new business.
“Starting a new business is hard particularly into very well-established industries such as mining and energy. The ecosystem around new businesses is super important because we all have common challenges and by having peers around we can share those experiences and work to solve those problems within a broader network. ”
One of CORE’s key focuses is on helping founders, innovators and small to medium businesses to be able to build both capacity and capability so they can take their business forward and continue to demonstrate resilient growth in the future, even as the sector grows and evolves as well.
But, how does CORE’s innovation ecosystem help you establish and grow your business?
Access to Australia’s largest Energy & Mining Ecosystem
More than just co-working space, CORE provides members with a physical connection to the broader energy and mining industry.Across our national network of innovation hubs, CORE is a meeting place and destination for innovators, entrepreneurs, academics, industry, and wrap-around services to discuss ideas, collaborate and come together to solve shared problems.
Events & Networking that drive ideas and innovation
CORE provides members and the broader energy and mining community with a number of events and networking opportunities each month. These events are curated to make sure our community has access to and are learning from leading and seasoned professionals within the industry.
Get access to the likes of BHP, Rio Tinto and Hexagon Mining Execs and entrepreneurs such as Roborigger founder Derick Markwell, who has successfully scaled his ideas into Series A funding success and founder of Rig Technologies, Darren Palmer who recently completed the sale of his business.
Our goal is to provide the platform for our members to hear new ideas, understand more about the industry, ask questions, seek feedback and even find opportunities for collaboration.
Industry Led Growth Programs
CORE runs a number of programs throughout the year to help our members grow and evolve their individual businesses. These programs are industry-led and growth-focused and highly relevant to the energy and mining sector. Often run by industry leaders, our program series is designed to meet the needs of individual businesses at various different stages.
From the Win More Work Series which aimed at giving businesses practical tips and solutions to being more effective at winning pitches, tenders and grants applications, to CORE Start, a 12-week entrepreneurial development program helping founders refine their offering, to our Get Global Innovation Tour and Hot 30 Awards, aimed at providing learning around international expansion and the opportunity to capitalise on profiling opportunities within Australia.
“Since winning the Winner of WA Innovation Award presented by the West Australian Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science, and Innovation, Diptek has been contacted by numerous industry players keen to trial the unique audit service and collaborate on solutions in the blast hole QAQC undertaking.
CORE’s Hot 30 platform has enabled our message to go beyond our typical industry-specific audience and show the wider industry what is being done and built in their own backyard.”
