OpportUNIty S.A. Innovation Showcase 2011

01 Jul 2011

OpportUNIty S.A. Innovation Showcase 2011 is a joint initiative between the three South Australian Technology Transfer and Commercialisation Offices and their respective Universities to showcase local innovation and research capabilities to a wide national and international audience including industry, academia, government and investors.

Our mission is to promote South Australian innovation and research capabilities to a wide audience including industry, investors and government and academia while facilitating opportunities for collaboration and unlocking future value from research through commercialisation.

The 2011 Innovation Showcase will provide attendees with an overview of the latest in research thinking as well as the opportunity to network and explore collaboration possibilities.

Researchers from Flinders University, the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia will come together to present their ideas, capabilities and technologies to the innovation community in South Australia, and demonstrate how they can provide practical solutions to real business and industry challenges.

The event will be moderated by RiAus Director, Dr Paul Willis, who is probably best known for his 14 year career as a science broadcaster with the ABC. Key insights will be provided by a number of innovation leaders, including serial inventor Ric Richardson, a technologist and independent inventor whose first patented invention was one of the foundation technologies (1992) used in software activation, and Mr Peter Roberts, a leading editor and writer on business and management in the fields of innovation, manufacturing and government policy.

If you are an industry person with an innovation need, or you are an avid member of the broader innovation community, come along to OpportUNIty S.A. Innovation Showcase 2011, and make the most of this unique opportunity to learn more about the latest research and development within the three South Australian Universities.
