HMIC (Health and Medtech Cluster)
HMIC is an economic diversification initiative of RDA Hunter. It was established in 2020 in response to the region’s need for co-ordination to help build the Hunter’s healthtech ecosystem and support health & medtech sector growth.
It has grown into an informal cluster of companies and organisations that share a vision for the region as a strong healthtech contributor nationally and internationally.
HMIC works with industry, research, Health, governments and enabling organisations to support industry/health, industry/research translation and industry/education collaborations.
Its primary aims are to:
- Identify opportunities for our local industry base to grow and diversify
- Raise the profile of the Hunter Central Coast as a location for health & medtech
The HMIC stakeholder base is large and varied and reflects the region’s wider economy. It includes companies with technical expertise in health & medtech, advanced manufacturing and engineering companies, our LHDs, clinicians, allied health companies, healthtech-focused professional services companies, service providers, researchers, educators, government and industry peak bodies.
