AIC Response to the Green Paper "Venturous Australia"
We are pleased that the report recognises that the entrepreneur is the key organiser and agent within the innovation system and that commercialisation happens in 'the firm'. In heeding the central role of entrepreneurial firms, the report calls for building up Australia's human capital and talent pool, improved information flows, and better integration of the entire innovation system with other global efforts. At a strategic level, the report calls for government to play its role and to strengthen the supporting infrastructure, particularly research capability; to transform and rationalise tax incentives; manage innovation priorities through a new National Innovation Council; and take on board an innovation culture within the public sector itself.
