11:30 am - 12:30 pm Panel Discussion: Governance and Financing for Innovation Precincts
An innovation precinct’s success relies on
appropriately structured organisation and
governance. There is no one-size-fits all governance
model. Depending on the age, scale and
sophistication of an innovation precinct, different
arrangements may be appropriate.
The same also applies to financing and funding
models. While precincts may be able to secure
funding for new buildings, refurbishments and
infrastructure, planners should also give thought
to the resources and financing needed to support
ongoing operation, including facilitators, services
and network activities.
In this session, panel members will share their
learnings and experiences about governance and
financing arrangements to support sustainable and
viable innovation precincts.
