Taking Ideas and Turning Them into Reality
veski Board Member Ms Janine Kirk AM, Lead Partner - Ernst & Young, was the recent guest speaker at the RMIT Innovation Lecture Series: Ideas Venture Capitalist - taking ideas and turning them into reality, held on the 14 May at Ernst & Young.
Accompanied by Mr Tim Murphy, CEO - BioMelbourne Network, the lecture explored the establishment of the BioMelbourne Network and took the audience on the journey from how biotechnology was identified as an important opportunity for Melbourne, to how the BioMelbourne Network came into being, and the story so far.
Both Ms Kirk and Mr Murphy painted an excellent picture of government, academia and the private sector working together to achieve innovative outcomes for Victoria.
The RMIT Innovation Lecture series is a collaboration between RMIT University, Ernst & Young, the Department of Innovation, Industry & Regional Development and veski.
