The Future of Industry

Driving Innovation Through Industry–Research Collaboration

How can industry better access the research expertise, facilities and innovation capability available across Victoria?

Join the Monash Precinct Network (MPN), with support from Invest Victoria, ANSTO and Monash AI Institute, for The Future of Industry: Driving Innovation Through Industry–Research Collaboration – an executive event bringing together leaders from industry, research, education and government to explore how stronger collaboration can accelerate innovation.

Designed with industry at its heart, the event will help businesses better understand where research capability exists, how to access it and what successful collaboration looks like in practice.

From AI and emerging technologies to advanced manufacturing, commercialisation and research translation, attendees will hear from industry and research leaders, gain practical insights into successful collaboration, and connect directly with organisations and capabilities from across the Monash Precinct and Victoria's broader innovation ecosystem.

The morning will feature a Ministerial address (subject to confirmation), keynote from Professor Shonali Krishnaswamy, Director of the Monash AI Institute, an executive industry–research panel discussion, and an interactive Research & Innovation Capability Showcase.

The showcase will move beyond a traditional exhibition format, creating a guided discovery experience where attendees can engage directly with research organisations, specialist facilities, innovation programs and collaboration pathways relevant to their business.

Whether you're looking to access specialist expertise, solve an innovation challenge, explore emerging technologies, develop a research partnership or simply better understand the support available to your organisation, this event is designed to help you make the right connections and identify practical next steps.
