Australia 2030: navigating our uncertain future

The Australia 2030 report uses a scenarios-based approach to help business and government to plan today's innovation investments to meet future opportunities and challenges. Australia has enjoyed an enviable position over the last two decades, with demand for the nation's abundant resources leading to strong economic growth and rising standards of living. However, we are entering a period of significant change across national and global markets. In light of this rapid pace of change, how will Australia maintain competitiveness in existing industries and build comparative advantage in new and emerging industries? Innovation will be key to driving future productivity growth in established industries as well as developing new companies and industries based on emerging science and technologies. In an increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing world, Australia risks being left behind if it fails to innovate.
