• Australia’s technological capacity to host the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), one of the world’s largest and most ambitious science projects ever devised.
• Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) developments throughout the world are being enhanced by Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), which promises to dramatically save lives and reduce injuries. An Australian company is a key player in international field trials in this rapidly emerging area. www.ausdsrc.com.au

The Global Innovation Centre was founded in 1991 as one of the first technology management practices in Australia, building on the extensive experience of its Managing Director, John Humphreys in the fields of science, technology and innovation development. The Centre acts as a catalyst for

• facilitating knowledge-intensive industries and large-scale projects in Australia;
• representation of major national and international technology-based organizations;
• revitalising regional communities through technology-based initiatives;
• acting as a ‘gateway’ for new product commercialization; and,
• stimulating international export activities by Australian SMEs.

Under national contract to the peak industry body, the Australian Electrical & Electronic Manufacturer’s Association (AEEMA), the Global Innovation Centre manages and operates sustainable ‘best practice’ Industry Clusters on a nation-wide basis, whilst delivering a range of international export and business services through AEEMA International.

The Global Innovation Centre adheres to the highest standards of conduct and behaviour, which are essential elements of its management philosophy.
