Our CEO Stuart Dignam was honoured to address the Australia-China Bioinnovation Roundtable, joining participants in Melbourne, online from Shanghai and streamed on wechat.  Thanks to Alan C., Shuyun Zhang (Betty) and the Boson Ventures team for convening the event, linking Australian and Chinese bioinnovation ecosystems. Boosting strategic collaborations to link-up Australia’s capabilities in research, early-stage drug discovery, IP creation and clinical trials with China’s power in scaling and production makes all the sense in the world. Prime Minister Albanese’s July visit to China sent a powerful message to innovators, investors and the business community that increasing engagement between our two countries is to be encouraged. Let’s get on with it!   Erin McAllum, Jarrod Belcher GAICD, The Hon. Jaala Pulford GAICD

This week HSV Chief Executive Susan Delroi presented at the AMMA Medtech Showcase 2025, which asked ‘what can we do together that we can’t do alone?’ in bringing together Victoria’s medtech manufacturers, health services and government stakeholders.  Susan’s focus was on the work we are undertaking to evolve HSV’s strategic procurement and engage more closely with our health service customers and suppliers. In establishing a dedicated supplier relationship management function and increasing our focus on ESG, we’re playing our part to help drive the uptake of local products and services at scale that align with our mission to deliver for our customers in improving patient outcomes.  The event was hosted by CEO Karen Parr from the BioMelbourne Network and Susan was joined on the podium by MTPConnect Chair the Hon. Jaala Pulford, Board member Professor Ian Meredith AM and COO Lisa Dubé.  Left to right: CEO BioMelbourne Network Karen Parr, MTPConnect Board Chair the Hon.
