Hello and welcome to my blog. My name is Rob Walker and I am the founder of The WesTech Alliance, our main web site can be found here. We are a small group of scientists and engineers dedicated to innovation. We provide consulting R&D services to small to medium sized enterprises using the very latest technologies and sciences. We specialise in cross disciplinary solutions to our clients problems.
After years in international corporate R&D I reflected on the many innovations I am proud of but also the many ideas that didn’t fit a corporate brief and never saw the light of day. In 2016 I decided it was time to leave the corporate world and move home to Perth in Western Australia, try my hand at something new.
Along with a friend we set out to change the world one small innovation at a time. Our many ideas have a focus on real world problems. We strongly feel not enough is done in the innovation space to tackle humanities problems and too much focus on the next big thing to make huge profits for just a few.
We chose just one innovative idea to start with: The mosquito problem and that is how one of our first projects: MozTrack was born. Well, also being bitten outside a Perth BBQ one year and thinking as engineers we can fix this…
This blog is really for me to feel free to share our adventures in new and exotic combinations of science, engineering and the humanities. Take the feedback both good and bad and use this to enthuse you the reader and to drive our successes both for our clients and for us, striving to make a better world.
