Global Industry Translation & Innovation Forum 2026

Led by the Global Technovation Alliance (GTALL) in partnership with ICNASA 2026, Discovery to Deployment is a flagship international forum designed to connect the world's leading scientific capabilities with industry demand, strategic investment, advanced manufacturing and global markets. Building on GTALL's international network of scientific leaders, industry partners and innovation resources, together with ICNASA 2026's established scientific excellence and international research community, the Forum aims to bring together the key stakeholders across the entire innovation and commercialisation ecosystem: distinguished scientists and Academy Fellows, ARC Industry Fellows and Research Hub leaders, multinational corporations and industry decision-makers, technology startups and entrepreneurs, venture capital and private equity investors, angel investors, accelerators and incubators, global science and industrial parks, university commercialisation teams, government investment and trade agencies, professional service providers, international innovation networks and market-entry partners. This convergence creates a distinctive platform where breakthrough discoveries meet real industry challenges, investment priorities, entrepreneurial expertise, manufacturing capabilities and international opportunities.

More than a gathering of influential people, the Forum is designed to make their collective expertise, resources and networks work together to deliver outcomes. Its distinctive program features inspiring success stories from world-leading researchers who have translated science into practical applications; industry leaders presenting real challenges and technology needs; investors sharing their priorities and criteria for investment; global industrial parks and accelerators showcasing pathways to manufacturing, commercialisation and international market entry; and emerging ventures presenting high-potential technologies. Through curated project showcases, targeted introductions, strategic matchmaking and structured follow-up, the Forum seeks to turn promising opportunities into industry partnerships, joint development projects, technology validation and pilot demonstrations, investment pathways, international market access and scalable commercial ventures.

Guided by GTALL's philosophy of expert judgement, strategic connections and real-world outcomes, Discovery to Deployment aspires to become a lasting international gateway linking scientific excellence, industrial capability, capital and global innovation ecosystems. Its ambition extends beyond a successful one-day event: to build a sustained pipeline of high-value opportunities, connect the right partners, accelerate commercialisation and generate measurable economic, technological and societal impact.
