Towards 3% R&D – view our webinar online here

@AuManufacturing News and public accounting, tax, consulting and business advisory BDO are pleased to launch the online version of our September 19 webinar – Towards 3% R&D – Where to from here?.

Following on from our successful editorial series and e-book, a panel discussion is moderated by Peter Roberts, and features expert manufacturing leaders discussing the fall in national innovation effort as measured by R&D from 2012.

After closing in on OECD average R&D spending rates, Australia has slipped and spends only 1.68 percent of GDP on research – half our global peers and well below leading nations 4 or 5 percent.

View the webinar and hear:

• Jefferson Harcourt | Executive Chairman, Grey Innovation Group

• Dr John Howard | Executive Director, Acton Institute for Policy Research and Innovation, and Visiting Professor, UTS Institute for Public Policy and Governance
