2013 Australia 3.0 All-day Forum

Report on Australia 3.0 Forum in 2013

Australia 3.0 leverages the collective wisdom of an invitation only grouping of some of Australia's leading Technology and Innovation thinkers and most experienced professionals to develop insight into the pivotal issues that will impact Australia's ability to succeed in the global digital economy.

A three month long dialogue focussed around the opportunities, threats and systemic barriers for Australia's digital economic future culminates in the endorsement of a series of targeted communiqués by a plenary gathering of over 300 of Australia's most eminent IT industry leaders.

On Thursday 8th August 2013 the ACS, AIIA and the Pearcey Foundation conducted a full day program on four key areas:

• Mining
• Health
• Government Services
• Infrastructure

Outcomes agreed as part of the 2013 iAwards program all focussed on lifting national productivity through innovative application of technology. The Australia 3.0 2013 communiqué has been developed, refined and formally endorsed through the Australia 3.0 process online and offline culminating in endorsement and formal launch at a plenary forum operating as part of the 2013 iAwards ceremonies held at Crown Casino, Melbourne on August 8th.
