The Office of Innovation and Science Australia (ISA) will host a series of free national workshops from 18-27 June 2019 to support the next stages of developing the government's innovation policy.
Decision makers across sectors will explore internal and external drivers and barriers to change and innovation in business.
This half-day workshop is a unique opportunity to be heard in the policy sphere and share experiences. Facilitated by Nous Group, the workshop will:
- Inform government on the real drivers and barriers to innovation investment;
- Explore what innovation looks like in a business context; and
- Identify factors behind successful innovation for your business.
Chatham House rules apply: no comments will be shared without permission given by the relevant business.
ISA is responsible for developing Australia 2030: Prosperity through Innovation, a national roadmap to strengthen Australia’s ability to innovate. The plan makes 30 recommendations, each with an aim to generate and capture the benefits of innovation for all Australians.
ISA aims to support and enhance Australia's innovation, science and research system by:
- Advising the Australian government about innovation, science and research matters;
- Monitoring and overseeing a number of innovation programs under several sub-committees;
- Co-ordinating the government’s investment in innovation, science and research;
- Reviewing Australia’s innovation and science system performance; and
- Stimulating public discussion and debate about innovation and science.
Business leaders thinking about innovation, business strategy, investment decisions and how their business competes are invited to attend. Primer materials will be circulated to guide participant thinking in advance of the workshop. Lunch will be provided.
