CELL is ready to help you define, educate, collaborate, and unlock value from trial, research and test projects, education and events with you solving real world solutions for Lake Macquarie and the near region.
CELL focuses on projects that could generate new employment within Lake Macquarie by taking waste from within our LGA or close region, converting these into new or alternate materials, and assisting with transitioning away from our carbon and extractive-based economy and attracting new manufacturing/energy.
We offer strategic advice and resources to address barriers that individual organisations can’t tackle alone, an environment to test, learn and validate leading-edge ideas with the potential to transform the economy.
