Championing a Major Step Forward in Sino-Australian Relations

UNSW is championing a major step forward in Sino-Australian relations by launching an ambitious, government-backed initiative bringing the successful Chinese innovation ecosystem – the ‘Torch’ model of Science & Technology collaboration to Australia.

Torch at UNSW will be a premier destination for entrepreneurship – showcasing Chinese and Australian collaboration – located at Australia's most entrepreneurial university.

This vision was endorsed by the former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and the former Chinese Premier Li Keqiang at a special signing ceremony between UNSW and the Ministry of Science & Technology at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on 14 April 2016.

Fostering Partnerships Benefiting Global Communities

As a ground-breaking and internationally connected innovation program, Torch at UNSW will bring together industry, SMEs, entrepreneurs, investors and policy makers from around the world to our campus.
