Enabling the application of data science for the benefit of all West Australians

The use of data to solve complex business and societal challenges is becoming a key advantage for many territories around the world, and Western Australia must ensure that it has the required skills and collaboration to take advantage of this – for the benefit of all Western Australians. The vast array of data collected by governments and businesses provides an enormous opportunity for Western Australia to develop innovative solutions based on data to address challenges and seek opportunities that will impact us all.

At the hub we provide a range of services to support businesses, government and academia with building their data science capability and advancing data science projects. This includes one-on-one advisory services, upskilling programmes and design thinking workshops.

WADSIH is proud to act as the bridge between these sectors, connecting WA capability and resources to further advance the application of data science in Western Australia.

The purpose of the Hub is to:

• enable the development of the data science capability of tomorrow for job creation
• enable a self growing data science community 
• enable innovative businesses to flourish and grow the economy

It will achieve this through:

• access to specialist Data Science capabilities in universities and other research organisations
• generating a supply of trained graduates and provision of upskilling programs, and creating jobs for WA
• the translation of Data Science capabilities from the mature sectors to emerging sectors
• advocating the importance of Data Science to government, industry and the community.
• facilitating collaboration and building the data
