Reshaping our World: Technology in Industry

Heralded as the Information Revolution or Industrie 4.0, advances in technology are profoundly reshaping the world (and industry) as we know it. Central to this revolution is unprecedented global connectivity and knowledge sharing which has led to transformative  breakthroughs in cutting-edge technology including artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing and energy storage. 

CCI’s Chief Economist, Rick Newnham, will discuss the convergence of the physical and digital worlds and explore the eight essential technologies that will impact WA business and the economy in the future. 

Join us for a light breakfast and the opportunity to meet CCI's Chief Economist discussing the next industrial revolution.

Rick Newnham joined the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of WA (CCI) as the Chief Economist in January 2017. Prior to joining CCI, Rick worked as an Economist for Shell around the world, including postings in Australia (Brisbane and Perth), the UK (Aberdeen) and the Middle East (Dubai).

He is passionate about innovation and policy that will advance Western Australia’s position in the global economy. Through the economic policy, start-up and trade communities, Newnham stays connected to the economies of Europe, the Middle East and Asia, where his experience and interests most overlap.

As an economist who isn’t shy to get his hands dirty, he has worked offshore on oil rigs in the UK North Sea, in the field in the Middle East and on drilling sites in regional Australia.
