Towards 3% R&D – Where to from here? Join our expert webinar

Following the publication of our e-book of our editorial series Towards 3% R&D – turbocharging Australia’s innovation effort, @AuManufacturing News and public accounting, tax, consulting and business advisory BDO are proud to present a webinar Towards 3% R&D – Where to from here?.

Will Australia step up and invest as much as peer nations on innovating for the future – or will we condemn ourselves to irrelevance and economic decline – Australia is failing badly in meeting our own target of spending 3% of GDP on R&D.
