ARI is embracing this change. We want to ease and speed access to University capabilities and resources. We’ve adopted new technology to make the knowledge exchange process more fluid, and have added extra resources to improve customer service management. Adopting this approach has seen ARI demonstrate strong growth. We are moving beyond contract research and commercialisation, into strategic partnering and relationship development. We see ourselves as being able to drive productivity by acting as a trusted hub of knowledge exchange. We are also involved in the broader conversation around improving interactions between the University sector and the broader community. We have engaged in this agenda locally, nationally and internationally. If you are interested in this debate then we are interested in hearing from you.
