Project description and overview

METS Ignited in partnership with NERA facilitated the growth of CORE Innovation Hub, as the first in a global network of hubs linking the resources technology sector and industry priorities within the CORE work program. This reinforces CORE’s build of proximity to challenges, solutions and market opportunity, alongside a culture of entrepreneurship, collaboration and speed of commercialisation. First established in West Australia, CORE has now expanded into South Australia with support from the South Australian Government.
