Innovation and ICT Minister Stephen Dawson announced the launch of Dealroom WA at Perth Morning Startup. Dealroom is an online platform that collects and displays information on startups, innovators, scale-ups, corporates, funding rounds, and investments across Western Australia.

The platform provides real-time and historical information on WA's startup and innovation ecosystem, including support systems such as accelerator programs, co-working spaces, universities, grants and assistance.

"Through the platform, we can showcase the scale and expertise across the state's innovation sector, which supports our local startups to engage investors, service providers and policymakers.”
- Minister Stephen Dawson

This will be a giant leap forward in the growth of the WA startup sector. Collecting these data is something that StartupWA has been advocating for to government and industry. Now it’s important that we encourage all WA startups to use the platform and help keep the database updated.

These data will allow StartupWA and Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation to build a stronger business case for increasing funding and support for the ecosystem so we can continue to become a world-leading tech startup hub.
