Join us for the CleanTech Futures Series event, dedicated to exploring the immense potential and opportunities arising from the New England region's transformation into the largest renewable energy zone in New South Wales.
This transition, embodied by the New England Renewable Energy Zone (REZ), promises to reshape the region's future, attracting substantial private sector investments of up to $10.7 billion and generating approximately 830 operational jobs and 1,250 construction jobs.
Event Focus
The New England will be the largest renewable energy generator or zone in NSW. The Futures Series creates gatherings that support researchers, community and businesses to learn about the electrification of homes, businesses and community activities to capture the benefits from the energy transition to shape a better future in the region.
The UNE SMART Region Incubator is proud to partner with the Royal Society of New South Wales, an institution with a rich history of contributing to NSW's social and economic welfare for over two centuries.
Join us for a keynote and panel discussion: ‘Electrification and the opportunities for community and business’
