Premier to speak at top 100 business launch
Premier Jay Weatherill will join businessman and Adelaide Crows chairman Rob Chapman on the list of speakers at InDaily’s Business Index lunch – an event which will reveal South Australia’s top 100 companies.
Chapman, appointed this year to head the State Government’s investment attraction agency, will be the key speaker at the event on 28 October (booking details below).
Weatherill has also agreed to address the gathering, in a year in which he’s made a concerted pitch to South Australian business and attempted to reshape the debate about the state’s economic future.
One of his Government’s strategies is the set up of Chapman’s agency, which will administer a $15 million fund designed to attract new and growth industries to SA to build the economy and employment.
The Business Index lunch will also feature a panel discussion featuring leaders from South Australian and national businesses.
The inaugural South Australian Business Index, supported by Prescott Securities, the University of South Australia and the Adelaide Convention Centre, is a ranking based on data.
The index will show the top 100 companies in South Australia as revealed by research from a team of analysts at Prescott Securities.
The team is close to completing the process of of gathering quantitative and qualitative information direct from companies and verifying it via a number of trusted methods, including publicly-published records.
The top-ranking companies will be announced at the 28 October event, with Chapman to outline his ideas for attracting investment via the new fund.
