Middle Australia
IISA identifies medium-sized enterprises as Australia’s missing middle, the Growth Centres proved it works: $1.23 billion returns on $305 million invested. Why does this compelling evidence get ignored?
Looking Past Success
Australian innovation policy is coming off peak government enthusiasm but starved of support. Ministers celebrate WiFi, CPAP devices and polymer banknotes in keynote after keynote – meanwhile Australian programs get defunded and local companies are left to fend for themselves.
Economic Stakes Are Too High
Australia ranks 105th of 145 countries in economic complexity. International firms pay billions to acquire successful Australian technology companies, while Australian industry policy funds research institutions while starving local vendors of scaling support to do more onshore.

Our Vision for the Future
Delivery of innovation via local technology companies will capitalise on the sustained investment into Australia’s research and innovation ecosystem; generating a return on investment for the benefit of our national economy. The translation of innovation via suppliers of products and services will accelerate local commercialisation, improve the visibility of innovation and technology delivery to market, increase market access to new technology, enhance local skills, enable cross industry collaboration and attract greater industry investment for future innovation.
