Innovation Upper Murray is an exciting opportunity for our region to participate in building an improved and resilient future for all.

The project uses Smart Specialization Strategy to analyse the community strengths and potential with the goal of creating a set of projects ready for investment.

The starting point of the Smart Specialization process was a close examination of the existing status of economic, social and environmental characteristics of the area, and of publications and reports generated by the Upper Murray community groups and Towong Shire, to produce a regional context analysis.

Through that analysis, the assets and resources which are available to support economic innovation will be made clear, as well as the key policy initiatives that are relevant to the region.

The Innovation Upper Murray project is supported by Upper Murray Inc., Upper Murray Community Recovery Committee, Towong Shire, the Victorian Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and RMIT University.
