Innovation is fast becoming the agenda item for economic growth, productivity and technological change. Whilst we look toward expert innovators such as the start-up nation Israel, we must first take some time to celebrate the great achievements in innovation in Australia and discuss what initiatives we may have to look forward to in future. This lunch brought together Paul Shetler, CEO, Digital Transformation Office; Anne Moore, Founder & CEO, PlanDo; Professor Duncan Ivison, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research), The University of Sydney & Annie Parker, Co-Founder, muru-d – moderated by Kate Carruthers, Chief Data Officer, UNSW Australia, to discuss the future agenda. Hosted by [Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce](https://www.youtube.com/@australia-israelchamberofc4955?ref=katecarruthers.com).
