The Territory Innovation Challenges Program has been announced in October 2020, and will contribute to the achievement of the Territory Economic Reconstruction Commission mission to ‘position the Territory for future investment leading to jobs and economic growth in the medium term’.
The program will do this by accelerating the development of a more competitive, innovation driven economy in the Territory, where Territory enterprises form collaborative clusters to innovate products for local and export markets, driving private sector jobs and investment growth in the Territory.
The program will facilitate a competitive approach to solving industry challenge statements, resulting in the development and government procurement of an innovative solution.
