South Australian QuantX Labs has launched a collaborative workspace named RavensNest, that occupies the first floor of the Space Lab building within Adelaide’s innovation precinct, Lot Fourteen.
It was opened on 13 October by Australia’s Chief Defence Scientist Professor Tanya Monro and the South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas.
This new facility will allow defence companies to work with defence researchers, university researchers and the Australian Defence Force, to ensure that transformative technologies will be fast-tracked from research through to sovereign capability.
RavensNest, is named for the Australian raven, and the way that they work closely co-operatively in a team. The precinct aims to provide an environment that allows ideas and inventions to take flight, by drawing the best from all participants.
Currently housing staff from the DST Group, University of Adelaide and QuantX Labs, RavensNest is aligned with the vision of the Defence Strategic Review and the new Australian Strategic Capability Accelerator, where industry and government share the risk associated with innovating new technologies.
