Introduction

Eureka International Innovation & Entrepreneurship Competition (Eureka IIEC) is a major innovation event produced in collaboration with the leading innovation organizations and service providers crossing Australia and China. In May of 2018, the first Eureka IIEC was successfully held in Melbourne Convention Centre. More than three hundred people participated and benefited from the event, including entrepreneurs, scientists, innovators, investors and policy makers. This year, we have improved the program design and expect a great deal of interest. This valuable and exciting event will not only help to boost the ongoing economic activity and start-up ecosystem diversity, but will also grow the research, knowledge and innovation exchange and outcomes between Australia and China.
