Australian Innovation System Report 2010

Executi ve summary

Innovation is a primary driver of sustainable productivity growth and social wellbeing. Conscious of this, in May 2009 the Australian Government set out a ten-year vision for
strengthening innovation and increasing productivity in Powering Ideas: An Innovation
Agenda for the 21st Century.

Part of that strategy, which is supported by an increase of almost 25 per cent in science
and innovation investment in 2009-10 over the previous year, is a new series of annual reports on the performance of Australia’s national innovation system. The Australian Innovation System Report 2010 is the first of that series.

This report provides metrics and baseline indicators as a platform to compare Australia’s
innovation performance with other OECD countries and track progress against the Government’s priorities and targets in the coming years.  While it cites the most recent and comprehensive data available, most of this data dates back to 2007-08 or earlier. Our understanding of recent developments must depend on more qualitative evidence until new metrics become available in the years ahead. This data gap is a global problem and the report itself discusses national and international efforts to develop more timely and sensitive metrics of innovation performance.

Notwithstanding these limitations, the data available can still serve as a yardstick against
which efforts to meet the priorities and targets in Powering Ideas can be measured in the future. Each chapter also provides case studies of world-class innovation achievements by Australian researchers, businesses, and governments.
