| Group Description: |
Wollongong and the Illawarra were recognised as an industrial hub for steel and coal production and exports, but increasingly the region is becoming a tourism, education and innovation hotspot.
The Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute (IHMRI) is based in Wollongong, a regional city approximately 90 km south of Sydney. While the work of our researchers targets the main illness and disease concerns in our region, the outcomes and results from our research reach beyond Australian borders to a global audience. Wollongong’s growing medical science and technology sector is supported by a network of service partners including leading researchers and education providers linked to UOW, and private and public health practitioners. UOW continues to produce excellent health graduates in fields including medicine, nursing, medical and exercise science, nutrition and dietetics and Indigenous health. Advantage Wollongong will be targeting organisations who provide support services and innovative products/ technology. Advantage Wollongong will also target allied and mental health companies that have a strong focus on R&D and innovation in treatment. |
