Our priorities

A Regional Incubator Model

The Partnership acts as an incubator for bold ideas in Northern Adelaide. We pilot innovative initiatives, foster collaboration across organisations and sectors, and enable successful projects to scale or be translated by our partner organisations and industry.

Our work is focused around four Priority Pathways:

Education & Careers

Opening doors and designing inclusive pathways for all people living in the North to access further education and training, and creating talent pipelines that are responsive to current and future workforce needs.

Playford Health and Wellbeing Precinct

Developing a world leading, connected, place-based health and wellbeing precinct, tailored to the unique needs of the Northern Adelaide community.

Sustainable Communities

Supporting communities to build resilience and increased connections.

Research & Innovation

Raising the visibility of the North as a funding test bed for cutting edge solutions, and the translation of research within local communities
