The Sunshine Coast is fast becoming one of Australia’s most dynamic hubs for health technology innovation. With a world-class health precinct, 18 Tbps submarine data cable providing the fastest east coast connection from Australia to Asia, collaborative research networks and a lifestyle that attracts top talent, the region offers the perfect environment for HealthTech businesses to thrive.
From medtech devices and digital health platforms to biotech, AI and data-driven solutions, the Sunshine Coast is the place where HealthTech innovations can move from concept to global impact.
Sushine Coast Council held a HealthTech Ideation Session that brought together innovators, entrepreneurs, health professionals and industry leaders to explore how to grow the region’s emerging HealthTech ecosystem.
With world-class research institutions, early adoption of new technologies and unique community demographics, the discussions highlighted opportunities in remote care, mental health and digital innovation.
Ideas from the session—including creating an ecosystem map, showcasing innovation through demo days, celebrating local successes and establishing a volunteer-led HealthTech association—will guide Council’s next steps to turn the Sunshine Coast into a connected hub of HealthTech excellence.
The Sunshine Coast HealthTech Ideation Session was just the first step in the journey to build HealthTech capabilities on the Sunshine Coast.
