We are thrilled to present two major enhancements that set the 2025 Kimberley Economic Forum apart:
A Strategic Partnership with the REGIONAL AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE: This collaboration has secured the prestigious "Regions Rising WA" summit on Wednesday 28 May, which will be followed by the traditional Kimberley Economic Forum formalities on Thursday 29th & Friday 30th May. Attendees will also enjoy two sundowners and a spectacular dinner, all designed to showcase the unique and picturesque landscapes and vibrancy of Broome. Collaborating with the Regional Australia Institute for the delivery of the Regions Rising event and the Kimberley Economic Forum offers a unique opportunity to amplify our region's voice on a national stage. By working together, we can showcase the Kimberley’s potential, innovations, and opportunities to a broader audience, strengthening our influence and advocating more effectively for the needs and aspirations of regional Australia.This partnership not only elevates our region's profile but also engages national academia, federal ministers and fosters collective action, ensuring that our communities have a stronger, united voice in shaping the future of regional development.

A collaboration with BUSINESS NEWS: The Broome Chamber and Business News will produce a special edition "North West" magazine, shining a spotlight on the innovations and potential of our region. This publication will be distributed nationally, ensuring that the achievements and opportunities within the Kimberley are recognised on a broader stage.
About THE REGIONAL AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE
The Regional Australia Institute (RAI) is the nation’s first and only independent think tank dedicated to building robust regional economies.
Independent and informed by both research and ongoing dialogue with the community, the RAI develops policy solutions and advocates for change to build a stronger economy and a better quality of life in regional Australia – for the benefit of all Australians.
The RAI is a non-partisan, not-for-profit organisation, founded in 2011 with seed money from the Australian Government. The RAI is a public company limited by guarantee and an approved research institute for tax purposes.
Today, RAI funding comes from research partnerships with federal and state governments, the Regions Rising event series, regional consultancy projects, membership and philanthropic funding.
By replacing myth and stereotype with facts and knowledge, the RAI builds bridges between city and country Australians.
