Projects & Developments
The GCHKP is evolving to expand from its key partners and occupants to eventually generate $2.9 billion for the Gold Coast economy and support up to 26,000 jobs.
As a key legacy of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games is realised, the former Athletes Village has been transformed into a vibrant mixed-use community with the Lumina commercial cluster at its heart.
A number of sites are earmarked for developments to commence from 2021, while other projects are set to build workforce and niche capabilities.
Griffith University’s Advanced Design and Prototyping Technologies Institute
Griffith University’s $100 million Advanced Design and Manufacturing Institute (ADaPT) will be a flagship innovation facility for the GCHKP, translating university research and technology, together with world-leading industry partners and collaborators, at the cutting-edge of additive manufacturing and new personalised medicine technology.
ADaPT will merge the university’s expertise in micro and nano-technology, new materials, biomechanical and biomedical engineering, big data and artificial/augmented intelligence, complex medical imaging and 3D printing design and technology, with the innovation of partner companies and clinicians to engineer next-generation medical and industrial applications.
AI in Healthcare
IntelliHealthQueensland is a not for profit organisation committed to the establishment and support of an innovation environment/hub designed to promote research, investment, and commercialisation of next generation technologies within AI and machine learning, concentrated on the health sector.
