West Coast businesses now have another tool in the business toolbox with DWC providing access to an up-to-date online economic profile service.

Infometrics profiles give access to an enormous amount of data on the economy, labour market, standard of living, exports, tourism, business, skills, productivity and population. It also enables users to easily identify trends in key industries, compare the West Coast region against all others, and measure the economic impact of events.

DWC Business Development Manager Helen Wilson says the Infometrics profiles will be available to anyone through the DWC website.

The Infometrics economic profiles are user friendly with heaps of information. “They have reports that tell the West Coast economic story and you can drill down to show what has happened at sector and district levels,” she says.

In the near future DWC plans to bring Infometrics Managing Director to the Coast to demonstrate how businesses can use the information.
