Macquarie Park was centre stage at the recent National Health & Innovation Precincts Summit.

Taking place at Royal Randwick Racecourse, this event attracted representation from government, investors, precinct leaders, health leaders, universities and research institutes, private sector partners and community leaders.

The Summit was an opportunity for Connect Macquarie Park Innovation District to share projects, products and services happening now and in the future.

General manager, Mark Ames, shared key insights about Australia’s original innovation district:

“As a purpose-built precinct, innovation is in Macquarie Park’s DNA.”

“It was great to highlight opportunities to unlock our area’s potential, and share the power of our member’s collaboration on a national stage”

Dig Howitt, CEO at Cochlear (University Ave), corroborated the promise of Macquarie Park as an innovation hub, sharing first-hand experience of the value of being in the precinct.

Liza Noonan from the Greater Cities Commission also attended, moderating a dynamic discussion on designing what innovation infrastructure should look like.

The National Health & Innovation Precinct Summit fostered high levels of engagement as a proactive discussion forum and opportunity to spotlight Macquarie Park at a national level.
