The Industry Papers – Hard Copy

The Industry Papers is a 65,000-word, tabloid-sized newspaper filled with policy papers from a stable of leading researchers, academics, entrepreneurs and business people – each putting forward policy proposals for driving Australian industry.

There are important questions being asked right now about Australia’s industrial capacity and whether the domestic capability exists to scale-up production in key areas if we were to experience supply chain shocks.

The Industry Papers are a platform for industry leaders to address the systemic barriers to the development of local industry. The papers shine a light on the sectors where we need to work hard to build genuine capability and industrial capacity.

We began with The Innovation Papers in 2022, followed by The Capability Papers in 2023, and now The Industry Papers marks the third instalment in the InnovationAus.com ‘Papers’ series. If you missed out on any of the previous editions, you have the option to order the full trilogy pack!

Dispatching of papers will commence on Thursday, 12 September 2024.
