NEWCASTLE HERALD BUSINESS ARTICLE:

In a global market there is increased competition and opportunities. It’s imperative that the Hunter  leverages its competitive advantages to ensure that we not only change with the times but grow new, high-worth jobs.

The Hunter has vibrant and successful traditional industries as well as a growing knowledge based economy, but in order to grow our industry sectors further we need to innovate.

Smart Specialisation (S3) is an innovation plan for future growth and regional leadership and that’s why RDA Hunter has developed it first in Australia. It gives the Hunter the opportunity to work with policy makers, industry and researchers to concentrate resources on innovation and development priorities that are future focused.

Whilst launching our S3, Prime Minister Turnbull commended RDA Hunter for delivering leadership, positive change and new ideas through the initiative. Details: www.rdahunter.org.au.
