Abstract

Australian state governments have attempted to emulate the success of Silicon Valley by developing innovation hubs across the country. The primary objective was to build an innovation ecosystem—a collective enterprise where firms, local government, community, entrepreneurs, and educational institutes collaborate to foster innovation. Despite huge investments, these initiatives have not yet met expectations. Global indices reveal that while Australia invests heavily in innovation inputs (ranking between 11th—16th), it lags in innovation outputs (31st—33rd). The significant disparity prompts a reassessment of how best to support the creation of a desired innovation ecosystem.
