Success and innovation explores the risks and triumphs of Australia's manufacturing industries. The exhibition is divided into two major areas: a selection of innovative Australian products from the past, and a gallery showing recent examples of outstanding engineering and design projects. Photos, video, interviews and a computer interactive that casts the visitor in the role of innovator add to an appreciation of the people, products and processes involved in Australian innovation.
A new selection of products from the Australian International Design Awards, as well as projects from the Engineering Excellence Awards, are displayed each year in the Success and innovation exhibition.
