It had to rebuild itself using its greatest resource – its centres of education – Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Īnd this last week has proved we need to collaborate in order to do the same thing.

So why is this important? Well, as we have seen, Boston had great wealth in the 19th century but lost it.

In Melbourne, it includes four major hospitals, the University of Melbourne, which is Australia's highest-ranked university, plus a group of international standard research institutes. The model brings people together with a single and common cause of world excellence. In short, Melbourne is headed towards a replication of what Boston has done, albeit on a smaller scale. We were also accompanied by the chief executive and the chair of the Peter McCallum Cancer Centre, a world leader in its field, as well as the lord mayor of Melbourne, who is committed to building Melbourne as a centre of global excellence.

I was there as the chairman of the Florey Institute, which in itself is a combination of four organisations and this combined expertise puts it among the top neuroscience groups in the world. Per capita, Boston's life-sciences centres have produced more patents, more PhDs and more Nobel Prize winners than anywhere else in the United States.Īs the week unfolded, our travelling party, which was initiated by the vice-chancellor of Melbourne University, Glyn Davis, was able to benchmark what we're doing in Australia. While it is the capital of the sixth smallest state in the nation, Massachusetts has the world's largest concentration of life-science firms, researchers and academic medical centres. This is a city with more than 100 tertiary and further education institutions and their students are 30 per cent of the total population.īoston's reinvention was built on four pillars: academia, healthcare, technology and financial services. And that's why I have spent the last week in Boston visiting the educational and medical institutes that have been in the vanguard of its great recovery. So who did Melbourne replace? It was Boston, the home of clam chowder and the American industrial revolution.īut the gold faded in the Commonwealth of Australia and in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts the industrial decline continued for much of the 20th century. In 1900 Melbourne had the highest per capita number of patents in the world. Not only were we a rich country, we were a clever one.
