The Innovation and Technology Research Laboratory was established in 2002, and is a research space at the University of Technology, Sydney..

Our primary objective is to understand the process of innovation and the role of information technology and the law in the adoption of innovative practice. It is more important than ever before for business to develop sustainable and high-performance innovation systems. Industry leaders recognise that emerging technologies have extraordinary potential for enhancing business competitiveness, business performance, and business innovation.

Effective information management and the pursuit of excellence are key drivers of innovation, consequently knowledge management through Information Technology strategies can enhance businesses capacity to take advantage of new opportunities and to adjust to highly informed marketplaces.

Anyone can have an innovative idea! Our interest is in developing a deeper understanding of how innovation can most effectively be turned into productive business concepts, business models, and business practice. Understanding the process of adoption and diffusion of innovation is crucial for business today. Managers must understand the interplay between market pull and technology push, and cannot afford to be unresponsive to information technology advances.
