Testimonials

“The InnovationAus Awards for Excellence are all about showcasing innovation and making sure it’s really at the forefront of policy around the future health and wealth of Australia.”

Bronwyn Le Grice

CEO and Managing Director, ANDHealth

“It’s fantastic that the InnovationAus Awards have focused so much on acknowledging the tremendous contributions to Australia and the global economy that are coming from the local innovation sector. It’s a first of its kind. I was grateful and humbled to win the Australian Hero Award in 2021 and we’re even prouder to have become a sponsor since then.”

“These Awards are really important; they are one of the few that recognise the talent of our startups and businesses turning great ideas into new prosperity, new economic complexity and things we need to do to be the future and the nation we want to be.”
