What makes a true ‘innovation’ cluster though is collaboration between players. What I found during my research is that this happens all the time, especially within the National Employment & Innovation Cluster – a geographical area in Greater Melbourne that includes the Monash Technology Precinct and the Monash Health & Education precinct. Some of these collaborations/partnerships include: • The Monash Health Translation Precinct is a collaborative initiative of Monash Health, Monash University and Hudson Institute of Medical Research to strengthen links between education and training, basic and clinical research, and patient care. • The New Horizons Research Centre is a new building which co-locates and integrates around 500 staff from Monash University and the CSIRO to provide platforms for global research and teaching collaboration through state-of- the-art information technology and research equipment that facilitates greater linkages with business and the community. • Regenerative Medicine Industry Interface is a consortium involving Monash University, ARMI The Monash Health Translation Precinct.
