Abstract

The change in Australia's productive capabilities over the last fifty years has been spectacular. From a country whose industries were chiefly rural, we now see factory production more than twice rural production, and we have a higher proportion of our population in secondary industries than does the United States of America.
As regards exports, the pattern is rather different in that we are still depending on rural production for the bulk of our exports. It seems that one reason for this is the low Australian content of research and technology m the manufacturing industries.
The question of stimulating innovation to support exports is, therefore, a very important one. Examples of current activities with this objective in mind will be discussed, together with some of the difficulties and how they may be overcome.
