Abstract:
Geelong is one of Australia’s fastest growing cities. It faces significant social, environmental and economic challenges as it transforms into a city of the 22nd century. With its strong growth; proactive business, industry and community groups; and commitment to working together in an innovative culture, the city is ideally placed to take on the challenges of a comprehensive response to making Geelong more resilient.
Cleantech Innovations Geelong is an alliance of business, industry, government and academia looking to develop markets for cleantech goods and services. Our aim is to establish Geelong as a Centre of Excellence for cleantech in Australia, by attracting investment, creating jobs and building skills. The program is a partnership funded through the Manufacturing Productivity Network (State Government), the Geelong Manufacturing Council and Future Proofing Geelong (City of Greater Geelong).
Clean Technologies are defined as economically viable products, services and processes that harness renewable materials and energy sources, dramatically reduce the use of natural resources and cut or eliminate emissions and wastes. This paper (and presentation) will feature three case studies which illustrate how businesses are establishing collaborative partnerships to innovate and diversify into new markets for cleantech goods and services.References:
