Innovation meeting at Bloomberg

Today I chaired a meeting of the innovationXchange's International Reference Group (IRG), hosted by Mr Michael Bloomberg at Bloomberg Philanthropies in New York.

The innovationXchange was set up within the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in March to revolutionise the delivery and effectiveness of Australia's aid program.

The IRG brings together leading global innovators from development, business, the arts, health, finance and science to discuss emerging challenges and opportunities. Today the IRG endorsed the innovationXchange's strategic direction, including a focus on identifying and incubating breakthrough innovations in the Indo-Pacific region.
