Australian Innovation System Report 2016

The innovation system plays a crucial role in the long-term economic growth of a country. The 2016 Australian Innovation System Report presents new indicators that measure and analyse the impact of innovation, focusing on networks and framework conditions which form the essence of the innovation system. This year’s report provides both a historical record of the measures and comparisons across the OECD countries.

The report further highlights the collaborative work between the department and the Australian Bureau of Statistics for developing new data infrastructure and analysis that allows for a better understanding of the Australian innovation system and more targeted policy development. Read the report
