Resources Energy & Industry Innovation Forum

The Resources, Energy & Industry Innovation Forum (REIIF) is a premier event that brings together key industry leaders, regional stakeholders, and investors to explore the future of resources, mining technologies, and renewable energy innovation. This forum serves as a dynamic platform for discussing world-class industry practices, emerging opportunities, and the evolving skills landscape essential for driving economic growth in the Orana and Central West regions of New South Wales.

Day 1 of the program will feature a series of Orana region project updates and three panel discussions focused on the key themes of energy, resources, workforce and migration. With a fantastic lineup of industry-leading speakers, these sessions will explore the challenges and opportunities facing the Orana region and inland Australia as they navigate the energy transition, resource innovation, and the future workforce.

Day 2 will host the Energy + Circularity Summit, new to the REIIF program for 2025 and co-hosted with Circular PV Alliance, offering a dedicated exploration of how the energy sector can move from traditional, linear models of production and consumption to a fully circular economy approach. The Summit will bring together stakeholders to view the energy transition through the lens of circularity, collaboratively identifying what is needed from government, community, and private enterprise to build a truly integrated and sustainable energy ecosystem.

Day 3 will consistent of a site tour to see first hand the projects being undertaken in the Orana and Central West regions.

Hosted at Taronga Western Plains Zoo Dubbo in 2025, REIIF provides a unique setting for insightful discussions on the latest advancements in the new energy sector.
