Industry Partner Testimonials

“There are two great benefits in partnering with Curtin University; firstly as an industry, we benefit from an independent view of a problem, particularly on this case of metro logistics decarbonisation. Secondly, we can contribute to helping talented post graduate students gain industry experience and networks.”

Cam Dumesny
CEO of Western Roads Federation

“Pritchard Francis engaged with the Industry Exchange team to solve a problem in our finance team, and the delivered solution exceeded our expectations and has automated a once manual process. The team was amazing from start to finish, including the Industry Exchange team and the expert academics who assisted the talented student to deliver this project.”
