NIIN expands into Asia with Innovation Central Singapore

10 Apr 2026

The National Industry Innovation Network (NIIN) has taken its first step beyond Australian shores with the launch of Innovation Central Singapore, located at Curtin University's Singapore campus.

The collaborations that drive real innovation rarely stop at borders. By establishing a presence in one of Asia's most dynamic technology ecosystems, NIIN is opening new pathways for cross-border research, industry engagement and digital capability building across the region.

Innovation Central Singapore follows the proven model that underpins the broader Innovation Central Network — bringing together industry, universities and government to design, test and deploy digital solutions. The hub will focus on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure, while deepening connections between Australian institutions and partners across the Asia-Pacific.

It is a signal of where NIIN is headed: a network that is not just national in ambition, but regional in reach.
