The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant freight and logistics challenges for the Victorian Healthtech Industry.
Global Victoria in partnership with BioMelbourne Network conducted an industry review of the Healthtech Industry to identify key issues being faced across the sector, how companies have adapted to the new normal and the impact on the industry.
Now complete, we have gained a deeper understanding about the current use of air freight transport, the impacts, how organisations have shifted to adapt and what is needed to support the sector.
The Issues Paper commissioned from this work is available for download here.
Moving forward we will be launching a working group to ensure recommendations are identified and actioned to support the Victorian Healthtech Industry into the future.
