Not Uniquely Australian
A recent article from UK’s Russell Group provides an example of how Australia’s innovation challenge is not unique to us. When policy is designed by institutions who also depend on its funding, you get the same incentives, the same metrics, and the same commercial gaps no matter where you are.
Definition of Industry
The term ‘industry’ appears in every collaborative research funding program. It is a complex concept masked by a simple term, and every stakeholder means something different by it. That inadvertent mismatch is costing us more than we realise.
Reality Check
Government closed AEA and redirected more funds to CSIRO. The sector sees devastating cuts, but maybe the government is recognising departments lack capability for commercial translation. That’s not failure, that might be progress

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.
