City of Wyndham

WYNnovation is an initiative proudly delivered by Wyndham City Council.

Now in its third year, WYNnovation is designed to enable innovation and

entrepreneurship among the City’s businesses and the broader community.

The month of February has seen a number of key events and workshops with

the sponsorship of today’s CEDA Luncheon concluding a suite of highly

engaging and innovative programs.

As one of the fastest growing municipalities in Australia, Council is working with

our partners to ensure Wyndham is a place of opportunity that builds an

attractive business and investment environment.

Our vision also includes influencing our community’s response to waste;

viewing it as a resource to be recovered, reused and recycled.

We are delighted to be partnering with CEDA in promoting WYNnovation

beyond our city.

about CEDA

CEDA – the Committee for Economic Development of Australia – is an independent,

membership-based think tank. Working with our members, we identify policy issues

that matter for Australia’s future and pursue solutions that deliver better economic

and social outcomes for the greater good. CEDA has 770 members. Our cross-sector

membership spans every state and territory and includes Australia's leading

businesses, community organisations, government departments and academic

institutions.

Membership

Organisations join CEDA because CEDA delivers exposure to high level thought

leadership, timely briefings on issues of economic importance, access to networking

and brand reach through sponsorship and hosting opportunities. In addition to high

profile public events, CEDA also delivers regular member only events for employees

of member organisations and exclusive Trustee only boardroom briefings for senior

executives from member organisations. These provide a unique opportunity for peer-

to-peer knowledge exchange and for speakers and attendees to talk candidly on

issues.

Research and policy

CEDA’s only agenda is to pursue good public policy to progress Australia’s economic

and social development. Since 1960 CEDA has produced more than 3000

publications, research reports and articles highlighting emerging issues and directions

in a diverse range of policy areas. Research in 2020 will explore unlocking data in the

public interest, release the second Community Pulse nationwide survey, discuss the

skills mismatch in the permanent migration system, and release the second report in

our series on disadvantage.
