Australian Centre for Innovation Addressing the challenges of the future through innovation Digital Innovation for Farms Identifies opportunities to improve productivity, quality and income from Australian agriculture through the implementation of new technologies Emphasises the need for a national strategy so that Australian farms can take full advantage of the capacities continually emerging in the digital economy Sees great potential for the growth of a strong agricultural technology business services sector

Australian Centre for Innovation Addressing the challenges of the future through innovation STI Capacity on Australian Company Boards (for the Office of the Chief Scientist) Little evidence that there is a severe shortage of STEM- educated directors for Australian company boards The more important issues may be at what level major strategic issues with a significant technological content are addressed Can more STEM-educated professionals be encouraged to equip themselves with the necessary experience to become valuable company directors?

Australian Centre for Innovation Addressing the challenges of the future through innovation Capacity of Australian Companies to Identify and Adopt New Technologies The innovative capacity of Australian companies is low by comparison with OECD competitors Australian company innovation is ad hoc, based on particular individuals and circumstances, rather than systematic across companies and industries Australian companies, with a few exceptions are at best fast followers, which provides a limited capacity for engaging with the potential of new technology
