“We know we have excellent science and research in this country, with measures indicating we produce four per cent of the world’s research with only 0.3 per cent of the population,” says Jane O’Dwyer, CEO of Cooperative Research Australia.
“We have heard time and again about the low complexity of our economy, and how we need to make more here; to add value and translate more research outcomes to new products, processes and systems. The conference will reveal how companies are already doing that and what we can learn from them.”
