The forum brought into sharp focus the difficulties of developing a regional economy within a state economy, which is in itself a regional economy. Particular growth initiatives were illustrated by mature industries ie. steel production and mining, and growth industries such as aquaculture, renewable energy, rurul health management and niche manufacturing. Supporting these initiatives is a policy framework which links workforce development with higher education provision.
