Powered 100 + Innovations and capabilities
At UNSW, our ambition is clear: to make a genuine and lasting difference in the world. This year, we launched Progress for All – UNSW’ s bold new 10-year strategy. It sets the direction for our University to be a catalyst for positive change, leveraging our academic and educational excellence, world-leading research and spirit of innovation, and genuine commitment to collaboration to deliver real-world impact where it’ s needed most.
Progress for All is about using our University’ s unique expertise and capabilities to ensure everyone benefits. That’ s why we are focused on accelerating research translation – to ensure our work improves lives, secures sovereign capability and delivers economic and social benefit at scale.
At UNSW, innovation is in our DNA. We are proud to be the most entrepreneurial university in Australia, ranked number one nationally for creating startups and spinouts. This reflects not only the depth and breadth of research at UNSW, but our capacity to translate ideas into solutions – with partners in industry, government and communities.
This collection of more than 100 innovations and capabilities showcases just a snapshot of the extraordinary work emerging from UNSW’ s world-class research ecosystem. Spanning critical areas such as advanced manufacturing, climate and clean energy, housing and connected communities, and quantum technologies, each innovation represents our commitment to tackling the world’ s most pressing challenges in ways that people and communities can benefit, in Australia and across the world.
As you explore the pages ahead, I invite you to imagine the future these ideas can help shape – a future that is fairer, more sustainable and prosperous for all.
Thank you to our researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs and partners who bring these ideas to life. You are the changemakers and thought leaders creating positive change and advancing UNSW’ s mission of Progress for All.
