The Hunter stands at a pivotal moment, ready to secure new industries and jobs for future generations. The global shift to green commodities presents a major opportunity for the Hunter’s industries to secure their competitive edge and drive new job creation.

Our research shows that the region has the expertise, infrastructure and strategic advantages to lead in the global clean energy future. By leveraging strengths and focusing on clean technology, renewable energy and advanced manufacturing, the Hunter can build a resilient, modern economy.
