The CBR Innovation Network (also Canberra Innovation Network or CBRIN) is an initiative of the government of the Australian Capital Territory, that was founded in 2014, and established to accelerate innovation and diversify the economy in the ACT region. The CBR Innovation Network is based on the collaboration of its six Foundation Members: the Australian National University, CSIRO, Canberra Institute of Technology, Data61 (now merged with CSIRO), the University of Canberra, and the University of New South Wales (Canberra, ADFA). One of the CBR Innovation Network's primary programs has been the creation of an innovation district in Canberra, which features a business incubator, a start-up accelerator program and a co-working space.
