In a rapidly changing world, innovation is key – as is the interdependency between universities, businesses, entrepreneurs and startups, with all having an important role to play in creating an innovation ecosystem and supporting economic recovery. Cross-sector collaboration is essential in bolstering Australia’s ability to solve problems and recreate opportunities for wealth and prosperity. Australia prospers when business and universities innovate together.
Universities are at the heart of the sophisticated global knowledge system shaping our future and UNSW has a key role to play. We aspire to improve lives globally, through partnerships, innovative research and commitment to a just society.
