As the New Year begins, SPARK GLOBAL is pleased to announce that UniQuest, the commercialization arm of the University of Queensland in Australia, has officially joined the SPARK GLOBAL Network through its signing of the charter, formalizing its commitment to advancing translational research through the SPARK model.

As part of this collaboration, UniQuest will launch SPARK UniQuest in early 2026. The program will be led by Dr. Idalia Ridley, Director of Commercialisation – Life Sciences at UniQuest, and will support researchers in accelerating the translation of life-science innovations from lab to impact.

SPARK GLOBAL looks forward to welcoming SPARK UniQuest into the community and to the innovations that will emerge from this new partnership.
