Details

Australia has long enjoyed a competitive advantage in world-class research and clinical development but our next leap in global biotechnology standing will be driven by connected capability. Innovation precincts, universities, hospitals, industry and the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) each play a critical role, but their greatest value lies in how they work together. This session will explore how Australia's innovation ecosystem is accelerating discovery, translation and commercialisation through collaboration, shared infrastructure and strategic partnerships. Through real-world case studies, speakers will examine the current landscape and discuss how stronger national connectivity, talent, capability and place can shape the future of Australia's biotechnology sector, strengthen sovereign capability, and reinforce Australia's position as a global biotechnology leader.
