Introduction
In recent years Western Australia, the fastest growing state economy in Australia, has undergone profound structural change.
This change has resulted in a strong internationalised economy that continues to carve deep inroads into major export markets across the globe.
The State Government, through the Department of Industry and Resources (DoIR), actively assists Western Australian businesses and investors to reap the benefits of this strong export and investment culture and capitalise on international business opportunities.
