    INNOVATION HUBS, PRECINCTS AND SCIENCE PARKS HELP NATIONS BUILD INNOVATION AND ECONOMIC ENTERPRISE.

    With expertise in the development of technology precincts, innovation hubs and science parks, we can inform how, why, and when, they can positively contribute to developing technology-based firms and yield sustainable growth to a region.

    Through a partnership led by Associate Professor You-il Lee with the Korean Studies Promotion Services at the Academy of Korean Studies, our research explored how ecosystems provide a novel approach to examining the role of knowledge, technology, and industry clusters in enhancing regional innovation. One study closely examined how precincts influence value creation differently through either producing innovations in established enterprises, or seeding and growing new enterprise.

    GROWTH EMERGING FROM CRISIS

    From Australia’s Black Summer to COVID-19, we unearth the resilience mechanisms in businesses and communities to regrow.

    Our research examines the impact of business dynamics, not only in growth, but also in crisis. In the wake of the Australian Black Summer bush fires and the onset of COVID-19, Associate Professors Rob Hallak, Claudine Soosay and Allan O’Connor, examined the resilience mechanisms of business, and how community, government and individual entrepreneurial characteristics, contribute to regional recovery.

    We are facing a rising number of crisis events due to climate change and the dynamic response of business will have a critical impact on socioeconomic recovery.

    In partnership with the Regional Australia Institute, we helped identify how business resilience in rural and regional Australia is strengthened. Our findings highlighted the need to build strong connections along supply chains and across business, community, and government, to ensure that they are designed to endure before, during, and after a crisis.
