Supporting Biomedical Innovations: Getting Innovations on the Right Track

NFMRI’s second annual conference, ‘Supporting Biomedical Innovations: Getting Innovations on the Right Track’, will take place 18–19 October 2016 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre in Queensland.

The conference will focus on exploring strategies and solutions to help build, support and grow the biomedical innovation sector in Australia. It will bring together local and international experts to explore four key themes focused around how private and social investments in medical research, together with different strategies and bold actions, can lead to the advancement of innovations. The program will also examine how we can increase Australia’s capability and capacity to deliver results all while growing the local economy. This includes building a culture and funding ecosystem where industry, government, academia, venture capital and philanthropy converge to support innovations from beginning to end. Delegates will leave the conference with a better understanding of how to improve collaborations and how to build relationships between research and industry. The key themes of the event are thinking differently and being bold, leading by example, building innovation in Australia and partnerships and strategies for impact.
