Westmead Alliance to foster collaboration and coordination

The Greater Cities Commission coordinated the reconvening of the Westmead Alliance at Innovation Quarter to foster collaboration and coordination across the growing Westmead community.  

“The Greater Cities Commission will act as the convenor for the Westmead Alliance to build the connective tissue between the many organisations who have a stake in making Westmead a globally significant innovation district. The focus will be on delivering direct benefits and inclusive opportunities for the people of the Central River City,” Greater Cities Commission Executive Director, Westmead Health and Innovation District, Liza Noonan said.  

Collaborative leadership is an essential factor in successful innovation districts around the world, and the Alliance will enable a unified voice and a long-term perspective.
