A UNIFIED APPROACH
Through a unified approach between government and industry we are cohesively working together to continue to grow the HMI sector within South Australia. As outlined in the Health and Medical Industries Sector Plan 2020 to 2030 (HMI Sector Plan) launched on 1 October 2020, the objective is to encourage the economic growth value of the HMI sector to $5 billion by 2030 with the HMI Capabilities Database underpinning this target.
Within the HMI Sector Plan, industry identified three key targets to energise and continue to drive the HMI Sector forward…
1
A cohesive industry presence (Industry Connectivity Initiative) improving linkages between all sub-sectors2
Renewed and streamlined clinical trial processes3
Growth in the ageing well and care sectors through leveraging funding opportunitiesIn response to these initiatives, the HMI team within the Department for Trade and Investment (DTI) will continue to work with industry leaders to develop an operational plan to focus on delivering outcomes and increase the growth of the HMI sector in South Australia.
