What makes myREGION different?

 myREGION
Other platforms & websites

myREGION is a CMS “platform” featuring directories and showcases, media and social media (Groups). It is not just a simple website.

Most websites have limited functionality

myREGION  is the ONLY Australian national collaboration platform focused on Australian economic development interests

Overseas major platforms are US or Chinese owned and managed. Focused on advertising or employment interests

myREGION  is the ONLY platform mapped to Australian states & territories, 50+ regions and major industry sectors

Other platforms are “free form” or commercially structured and not customised or related to Australia’s economy, regions or industries

myREGION links the latest webinars and videos published by CSIRO and Australia’s research-based universities – updated every 2 months. “Knowledge diffusion in action”.

No other option

myREGION provides links to webinars and videos to help high school students make informed choices about study options, with links to university institutes and centres.

Updated every 2 months.

No other option

myREGION  EXTENDS the use of existing websites, email, and social media supporting wider engagement and connection

Other platforms and websites constrain and limit engagement and connection

myREGION  supports connection between ALL organisations related to economic development in Australia – government, academia, businesses and not-for-profits

Other platforms and websites are silos, local, or single sector focused – not true national collaboration platforms

myREGION  is free for users. But commercial users and Government pay

 

myREGION  supports “Push” (relevant messaging sent to users) and “Pull” (users visit the platform)

 Most websites and platforms only “Pull” -want people to visit, or “push” non relevant advertising messages

myREGION  supports “talk” and “action”

 Most websites and platforms are all talk and no action

myREGION  is customisable based on feedback and interests raised by users

 Most websites and platforms are single focused and evolve slowly if at all

National Interest
It is in the national interest to have a holistic framework to manage innovation, showcase products overseas – diversify our productive industry sectors, develop new 21st industries, and encourage the sharing of ideas and projects more widely – knowledge diffusion.

Business interest
Businesses want customers and sales – 100%. Businesses want information on their industry – 68%, innovation – 67%, management skills – 62%, benchmarking – 59%, finance, wages and salaries – 52%, government services – 33%, international markets – 30%

Expand Export Markets
Australia needs to showcase exporters to more markets than just China. And showcase more than minerals, food, education and tourism. To sell more products and services, earn more export dollars, generate jobs and employ more people.

Cross-pollinate and share
Australia is a big country divided. Regions continually “reinvent the wheel” when regions should be learning from other regions and cities. Ideas and successful projects should be shared. Australia is 72nd in the world for knowledge sharing.

Support new industries
Australia’s 52 regions can be managed individually and collectively. Our innovation ecosystem needs connecting, sharing proven innovation, new opportunity, export and collaboration - a national “business intelligence” platform. Focus locally, but share and collaborate nationally.
