Innovation ecosystem development

We’ve developed a strategy and framework to strengthen our innovation capability in the City of Logan. An innovation ecosystem is one that creates new ventures and companies that generate jobs at a faster pace and will play a significant role in the city’s post COVID-19 economic recovery.  

This work is being undertaken in close collaboration with other areas across council, the region and internationally and aligns with the City Future Strategy.  

Innovation is doing things differently and better and we encourage the community to participate in building Logan’s innovation ecosystem.
