Overview
Industry Innovation and Science Australia wants to hear about your experiences with innovation and collaboration with the research sector.
In particular, we want to hear about barriers your business has faced in collaborating with the research sector and commercialising research in Australia.
Industry plays an essential role in translating Australia’s home-grown ideas and inventions into new products, processes and services. Collaborating with the research sector helps many businesses commercialise products, processes and services. However, recent data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that while 57% of Australian businesses innovate, only 24% collaborate for innovation (and only 3.5% collaborate with universities or other higher education providers).
We are working with our world-class research sector and industry to ensure more home-grown ideas and inventions contribute to national wellbeing. This includes growing more competitive businesses in Australia.
Your feedback will help us identify ways to improve links between industry and research. This will help generate and commercialise more innovative ideas in Australia.
