Re-wiring | New collaborative models and value chains

The process of developing, testing, and scaling innovation for sustainable impact relies on the coordinated and collaborative action of different actors, infrastructures and resources. They all play a critical role in translating a great idea to having transformative impact.

Keynote presentations will showcase government supported initatives, models and funding programmes connecting Research, Science, Technology, Businesses and Design & Creative Practices for cross-sector innovation and impact. This will be followed by a moderated Q&A session with the keynotes, with audience participation.

Five short (lightening) presentations from Australian Government, Businesses, and Research Institutions, from Australia, reflecting on and sharing their individual experiences as ecosystem actors in their respective roles and sectors, through introductions to new funding mechanisms, new ways of working, new frameworks, new services, shared challenges and opportunities. Presentations will be followed by an interactive panel discussion with audience participation in conversation with the speakers.
