Thursday 3 April 2003 - 1.30pm - 7.00pm
Venue: Powerhouse Museum, 500 Harris Street, Ultimo
You are invited to join us on 3 April to explore the fundamental
requirements to succeed in the global market from an Australian base. Hear
from successful industries how they captured competitive markets and the
role of innovation in that success. Debate how we might use those key
factors to underpin further global success in the years to come. You can
help decide what the nation should do to prosper from innovation and
technology in the next two decades.
Innovation: Beyond the idea marks 20 years of pushing the
engineering envelope and championing innovation by The Warren Centre and
therefore celebrates 120 years of engineering education in Australia.
For business and industry leaders, government representatives and students
this high profile event is a rare opportunity to build understanding of
the fundamental requirements for success and to network with leaders of
enterprises of all shapes and sizes that are major players in global
competitive markets.
The issues will be explored through industry presentations, case studies,
debate and discussion:
- Case studies - explore the factors underpinning global success in
five representative industries that have generated particular wealth
in the last two decades:
- Automotive
- Wine
- Medical
- Mining & Metallurgy
- Industrial Information & Communications Technology
- 2023 Royal Commission into the global competitiveness of the
Australian technology industry. Prompted by a catastrophe late in
2022, the Government has called a Royal Commission to investigate how
Australia can again ratchet up its share of global wealth creation
from technology.
