Davies Collison Cave

Davies Collison Cave was proud to support the Hunter Innovation Festival Action Summit. The Summit is a critical part of ensuring the learnings and momentum of the Festival continue over the following twelve months, with experts across Clean Energy, Circular Economy and Advanced Manufacturing workstreams workshopping out of the box collective solutions in their fields. It was an absolute privilege for my colleague Lawrence Wong and I to work alongside so many enthusiastic experts and we look forward to connecting with purpose on the team projects over the next year. Congratulations to Alex Brennan, Gordon Whitehead and Adrienne Donnelly on the final event in the epic 2024 Innovation Festival - we are in awe of your achievements. Best year ever!
