Message From The Hon Greg Combet AM MP
The Australian Government agenda is for an economy that harnesses the latest technology and relies on highly skilled and productive workers.
To this end, we have combined the key policy areas that fuel the drivers of innovation – science, research, and tertiary education – into the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education.
We are determined to transform the economy to ensure that Australian industry remains competitive for the times beyond the current resources boom and that other sectors of the economy remain strong.
The Simulation Technology and Training sector is an example of Australian expertise and technology that is up with the world’s best. For example in the defence simulation and training field, our technologies are being adopted world wide.
The simulation skills developed for the defence arena naturally spill over into other fields like aerospace, aviation, road, rail and logistics.
Welcome to delegates at this SimTecT conference – events like this are vital to maintaining a high level of collaboration to keep Australians innovating.
The Hon Greg Combet AM MP
Minister for Industry & Innovation
