Australian Innovation System Report 2010
The Australian Innovation System Report 2010
The Australian Innovation System Report 2010, is the first of a new annual series of reports on the performance of Australia’s national innovation system and builds on the commitment by the Australian Government in Powering Ideas: An Innovation Agenda for the 21st Century to produce an annual report on innovation.
The Report outlines:
- metrics and baseline indicators which compare Australia’s innovation performance to other OECD countries and tracks progress against the Government’s innovation priorities and targets – these metrics are presented under the four policy themes identified in Powering Ideas: skills and research capacity, business innovation, links and collaboration and public sector innovation;
- features and trends of the Australian innovation system and performance as a whole, including Australia’s performance on Gross Expenditure on Research and Development (GERD), investment in knowledge, proportion of innovating businesses, collaboration and networking, skills used and shortages and trends in Multi-Factor Productivity (MFP) growth; and
- actions, achievements, and forward plans of various participants in the national innovation system, including governments, public sector researchers, and industry.
