Located in the heart of South Australia’s primary Innovation District at Tonsley, Flinders NVI plays a vital role in equipping South Australia’s next generation of innovators to realise their potential and not only actively engage in the global economy, but to grow it.
Over the past seven years, we have continuously built our credentials by uniting with international business partners, and international academics to deliver significant, world-class insights and emerging knowledge to our local innovation community.
Our dedication to continuous improvement and creative collaboration has given Flinders NVI the well-earned reputation as an engaging thought leader and connector. We look forward to fostering more dynamic relationships amongst our strong alliances with local enterprise, academia, and government.
