This one-day forum brings together government, industry and academia to explain and explore how the low carbon economy is being activated to spur innovation in regional Australia.  Speakers will discuss issues and case studies that demonstrate how regional industries can benefit from the transition to a low carbon economy.  Topics covered will include the role and impact of renewable energy in the regions; the nature and benefits of a circular economy and what this means for business and government; the importance of a low carbon economy to regional and rural Australia; and how all of these will combine to embrace new industries and create local employment in the Parkes Special Activation Precinct and accelerate our transition to a prosperous low carbon future.
