2018 veski fast smarts

The second veski fast smarts was held again as a part of Melbourne Knowledge Week. This curated showcase of 9 of Melbourne's brightest Innovators was held at Deakin Edge at Federation Square on Wednesday 9 May.

Our 9 Innovators from across the arts, academia, industry and the community rose to the challenge of telling their innovation story using the 20:18 Rapidfire presentation format, that is 20 slides on display for 18 seconds each, in the categories of Living, Working and Playing.

As leaders in their field, our impressive line up of panelists commented on the Innovators' creativity and ability to think big with cleverness.

As voted by the audience, it was Innovator duo Dr Serena Duchi and Dr Carmine Onofrillo from St Vincent's Biofab3D who spoke on the innovation of the Biopen, a surgical tool that promises to shape the future of orthopedic surgical procedures, who were named 2018 veski fast smarts 'Innovators of the Year'.
