The CRC ORE team and Board have created a 6-year strategic plan, building on successes to date, and providing clear guidance for achieving CRC ORE’s objectives in the years ahead. The strategic plan is built around four key pillars: Invent, Integrate, Implement and Introduce. It establishes the basis for the smooth transition of CRC ORE outcomes to the METS and Minerals sector by 2021.
After a successful initial 5-year term, CRC ORE has been funded for a further 6 years to achieve its full potential. It is well supported, has a strong pipeline of innovation and is on-track to deliver broad commercialisation of a number of step-change, whole-of-system signature technologies. This is consistent with its prime directive to identify and implement innovations that improve operational value and reverse the trend of declining productivity in the minerals sector.
Our VisionA significantly more productive and sustainable minerals industry.
Our MissionTo deliver step-change operational innovations and value through a novel approach to whole-of-system integration and collaboration. |
