Announcement: The Swedish Australian Innovation Technology and Design Summit Returns in 2025!

We are pleased to announce that the Swedish Australian Innovation Technology and Design Summit is set to take place 18-19 September 2025 in Melbourne, providing a platform to explore Swedish-Australian collaboration in innovation, technology and design.

In collaboration with universities, industry and Team Sweden partners, including the Embassy of Sweden and Business Sweden the SACC Innovation Summit serves as an important platform to:

  • Showcase Swedish-Australian innovation, technology and design together with partner companies.
  • Present successful cooperation, knowledge exchange and creative business development between our two nations.
  • Foster long-term partnerships between industry and academia while inspiring new initiatives in sustainability, digitalisation, AI and emerging technologies.

A key focus of the Innovation Summit is university collaboration, which plays a crucial role in bridging academic research and industry application. For the 2025 Innovation Summit the SACC is in discussions with the University of Melbourne as a main partner, with plans to engage other Melbourne based universities. Collaboration with universities ensure access to cutting-edge research, support knowledge exchange and nurture the next generation of innovators and leaders. By strengthening ties between academia, industry and government, we can collectively address sustainability challenges while driving impactful, research-backed solutions.

Building on the success of the 2022 Swedish Australian Innovation Technology and Design Summit held at the University of Technology Sydney, the 2025 event offers exciting opportunities for universities, companies and organisations to showcase their innovation highlights, engage with students and business leaders and lead thought-provoking discussions to inspire collaboration.
