We affirm that universities exist for the public good by designing and facilitating new ways of working that focus the unique knowledges and resources of UNSW into tangible and actionable societal impact.

Our mission

We bring people together to work on problem-solving, project-based initiatives that are shaped by interdisciplinary practice within inclusive teams and are driven by design-led methodologies. Through this work we collaborate across UNSW and with community, industry, and government partners to design and implement solutions that create societal impact at scale and at pace.

Acknowledgement of Country

The UNSW Innovation Hub stands on an important place of creativity, collaboration, and learning, first occupied by the Bidjigal and Gadigal peoples.

We acknowledge the Bidjigal and Gadigal peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land that we share and operate on. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and extend this respect to all First Nations peoples across Australia. Sovereignty has never been ceded.
