Episode 53 - The Prequel: National Innovation Policy Forum 2025: 'The economy is the whole innovation system'

The fourth National Innovation Policy Forum (NIPF) hosted by Cooperative Research Australia is this coming Monday 3 November 2025 in Canberra— a gathering that brings together leaders across government, business and research to explore how Australia can harness its innovation ecosystem for national advantage.

In this special pre-Forum episode of Tech Transfer Talks, NIPF Co-Patrons Catherine Livingstone AC and David Thodey AO share thoughtful and timely reflections on the opportunities before us. Catherine reminds us that 'we have no excuse now not to think deeply and long-term—innovation is not an optional accessory.' David adds, 'Stay the course. Grab the opportunity, make a difference and give it a go.'

Their conversation is a call to action: to translate our strengths in science, research and technology into the next decade of national prosperity—through collaboration, experimentation and execution. We explore the notion of moving the focus from innovation to experimentation and establishing a culture within government and industry that encourages experimentation to drive the productivity gains being sought throughout the private and public sectors.

With political stability providing a rare window for long-term planning and the outcomes of the Strategic Examination of R&D soon to be known, our conversations will focus on how we harness this moment to turn ideas into impact—aligning education, research, business R&D and policy to drive national advantage.
