How the Innovation Statement Affects the R&D Tax Incentive
December 8th, 2015From mining booms, population booms and housing booms – Australia’s history has been littered with ‘bangs’ of productivity.

Hence, in light of the Innovation Statement released yesterday (which we have overviewed here), many have been curious about […]
Highlights of the Innovation Statement
December 7th, 2015“Innovation” – the term has essentially become shorthand for all that encompasses future business in Australia since Turnbull’s rise to Prime Minister in September.

Innovation Culture, Precincts and All That Jazz
December 3rd, 2015From the earthy harmonies of soul jazz to the sporadic, atonal forays of free jazz – lateral thinking is the key distinguishing element in this type of music. Likewise, building innovation and an entrepreneurial culture could be compared to a form of jazz: it takes a lot of practice, a great deal of mistakes and emanates from a culture that values playing and jamming. Get that right, and then we’ll swing. But how does Australia jazz it up and expedite innovation? […]
