The medical technologies, biotechnology and pharmaceutical (MTP) sector in Australia is vibrant and critical to Australia’s economy, the health outcomes of the population and the innovation ecosystem. With nearly 1,300 companies and 68,000 jobs across industry and research, the MTP sector is a major contributor to the Australian economy. Although this vibrant sector is supported by world class infrastructure, our commercialisation productivity continues to decline. 

Dr Rebecca Tunstall from MTPConnect discusses how the sector is being supported to bring outcomes of Australian medical research to market, some of the challenges of commercialisation, and the success stories and opportunities for Australia as we move forward.
