About the Green Economy Catalysts Program
Green Industries SA is supporting South Australian industry in the transition to a circular and green economy, launching a Green Economy Catalysts Program with Professor Roos as our first Industry Catalyst.
The Green Economy Catalysts Program will bring global leaders to Adelaide to engage with industry sectors, government and the community, to support SA’s transition to a circular and green economy and to drive climate action.
South Australia’s industries are responding to the challenges and opportunities of Net Zero goals, capitalising on our renewable energy achievement and building circular economy leadership, our state’s smart skills and our liveability.
Our state is committed to:
- driving economic and product complexity in our industries
- leveraging the Fourth Industrial revolution and the green economy transition
- building a skilled, secure and productive workforce in new, diverse and diversifying industries and services.
Professor Roos is uniquely positioned to catalyse this momentum.
