In a world relying increasingly on skill and innovation, creativity and ingenuity are the most valuable commodities we possess. They have allowed us to defeat many serious illnesses, feed an ever growing population and develop technologies that change the way we interact with the world. Our life expectancy increases around five hours every day due to advances in medical research.

Online university courses such as Udacity and Coursera are allowing millions of people to be taught by the best in their field. Melbourne is a creative city with many opportunities for people to express themselves in artistic studios. As our education expands we need the resources to be innovative in different ways, to design our own light bulbs and micro-organisms in an artistic environment.

The Abbotsford Innovation Hub provides people with scientific resources and the opportunity to interact with their peers while engaging artists and inventors in a creative process.
