Please note that this event will be held under the Chatham House Rule and is in-person only.
Victoria has a diverse and skilled workforce, a favourable R&D environment and advanced manufacturing in the health, tech and other sectors. Melbourne is projected to become the largest city in Australia by 2031 and is a world city by many measures.
The City of Melbourne's international engagement strategy aims tosupport a strong economy, innovation, sustainability, and resilient, thriving communities.
Victoria, and Melbourne, have an immense opportunity for growth, in decades which promise transformation not only in Australia but across the Asia-Pacific and beyond.
But how do we overcome the challenges of ensuring the skilling initiatives, conducive industry policy environment, collaboration channels and attractiveness to foreign investors to allow the Victorian economy to realise its immense potential?
This event is intended to frame AIIA Victoria's Corporate Engagement series which was launched with a highly successful and well-attended event on defence manufacturing earlier this year. AIIA Victoria's corporate engagement events bring closer focus on topics such as innovation, investment, skills and ecosystems, essential for Victoria to position itself as a global as well as Australian hub for growth, jobs and dynamism.
Join us for a panel discussion moderated by Mohammad Chowdhury, featuring the Hon Jaala Pulford, former Minister for Innovation, Medical Research and the Digital Economy in the Victorian Government, and Prof. Edward Buckingham, Professor of Management at Monash Business School.
