The facilities specialize. RiSE connects. MEL coordinates.
MEL is a distributed commercialization system. Physical infrastructure is developed according to demonstrated regional and market need.
What the system may use
Different capacity for different stages.
- Innovation and Commercialization Institutes
- Centres of Excellence
- Mobile Access
- Research and validation environments
- Manufacturing and co-manufacturing capacity
- Controlled environments
- Partner and institutional facilities
Facilities described here are planned or proposed unless stated otherwise. None are presented as operational today.
National network
Connected capacity, placed where evidence shows need.
MEL proposes to develop interconnected commercialization capacity in regions where evidence demonstrates a need. Each location may specialize in local strengths while staying connected through RiSE and relationships with research institutions, learning institutions and industry.
The model is designed to improve access for people and communities underserved by centralized commercialization infrastructure, including rural, remote and underrepresented founders.
