An industry-led initiative, Macquarie Park Innovation District was created in 2015 when seven key founding partners joined forces to leverage the massive innovation and collaboration potential of Macquarie Park. The partners – AMP Capital, NAB, Optus, Abbott, Johnson & Johnson, Konica Minolta and Macquarie University – sought to improve the physical and economic assets that underpin innovation, as well as develop an events program that will bring park members and the community together.
