If you never look beyond the horizon, you’ll never see the future.
Innovation takes you to the edge of the horizon. Transformation pushes beyond. Collaboration is the future.
Asia-Pacific’s emerging health and innovation hub, the 200-hectare Gold Coast Health & Knowledge Precinct (GCHKP) is a unique global business location for high-tech industry development, research collaboration and jobs of the future – a vibrant mixed-used community in which to live, work, study and play.
We’re a partnership of organisations and people dedicated to making a difference – from a vaccine for malaria, to a cure for spinal cord injury, we’re looking beyond the horizon with game-changing ideas and bold ambitions.
We hope you can join us to find your beyond.
