G20 Entrepreneurship Roundtable 2023
No full textG20 Entrepreneurship Roundtable 2023 is held on October 23-24, 2023 in Foho, Suzhou, China, with the theme of Promote Entrepreneurship and Employment in Platform Economy.
The event is the 7th consecutive Roundtable hosted by Entrepreneurship Research Center on G20 Economies since its establishment and cohosted by International Labour Organization this year, with the full support from Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of China.
The platform economy has developed rapidly in the last decade and brought about both opportunities and challenges to the global labor market. How to take advantage of the platform business to drive high-quality entrepreneurship and full employment is not only one of the main concerns of the G20 member governments, but also in line with the priority issue proposed by 2023 G20 EWG.
In the roundtable, we hope that the representatives from G20 members, international organizations and social partners could share their practices to promote platform enterprises to create more jobs, conduct the in-depth discussion on the impact of platform business on employment and entrepreneurship, and jointly explore the ways of the global, innovative, and sustainable development of platform businesses

Innovation ecosystem map for the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade)
No full textThe Australian innovation ecosystem has increased significantly in number, value, and diversity of roles and actors. This growth has come with a maturity and specialisation by industry sector (eg., space, defence, agriculture, energy, METS), technology (Artificial Intelligence, Web 3.0, Mixed Reality), impact area (Climate, First Nations, Youth, Regional, Female), and function (investment, incubation, culture). The size and scale of the Australian innovation ecosystem presents an opportunity to provide an interactive interface customised to the diverse needs of the individual interacting with the ecosystem.
A custom interface was provided as an iFrame on the Global Business & Talent Attraction Taskforce website, later brought into the AusTrade international business website
2023 Australian Agritech Sector Report
No full textAustralia is a world leader in the commercialisation of Agritech ideas and innovations with an entire ecosystem of world class Agritech companies based in all states and territories across the country. The technology developed and commercialised by the Australian Agritech sector will be critical for Australia reaching its ambitions for productivity, sustainability, digitalisation, jobs growth, climate goals and emission reductions. The country's leadership in other sectors, e.g. the mining sector, can be replicated in the Agritech sector to create high value and regional jobs, revitalise the regional economy, digitalise regional Australia, and leverage Australia’s R&D capabilities to develop new export sectors. Our world leading Agritech sector is the cornerstone of transforming the way we farm and how the supply chain operates, drives a world leading export reputation, and is a key enabler of sustainability and climate adaption through commercial and scaled applied technology solutions. As the industry continues to grow, it is vital the sector continues to change and adapt to resolve the increasing challenges. This report focuses on Agritech provider input in addressing these challenges, informed by respondents to the 2023 Findex National Agritech Sector Survey. The results highlight critical themes relevant to everyone in the Australian Agritech Ecosystem including government, service providers, Agritech companies, producers, and users of Agritech products and services

Burnett Inland Futures Strategy
No full textWith a strong history of innovation and resilience, the Burnett Inland has endured more than its fair share of drought, floods, natural disasters and industry changes, yet none of these have defeated us - in fact, they’ve driven resilience, innovation and tenacity.
The challenges that lie ahead from climate change, further disruption from technology advances and the potential exit of some of our dominant industries will also provide significant opportunities, and we know as a region that we will be stronger in 30 or 50 years time if our people are given an opportunity to co-design their preferred future.
The research report drew on work previously done in the region as well as case studies for regions who have navigated their way through complex change, and proposes a framework for all - community members, businesses, government and agencies - to be involved in building resilience into the future.
The report considered the regional context, including industry and economic outputs, demographics, and innovation investment infrastructure activity. As well as, identifies the ‘ecosystem’ of leading economic development organisations in the region, including government, peak bodies, community organisations, service providers, corporations, foundations, and education providers.
Furthermore, the report highlighted current strategies and narratives by relevant institutions and community leaders, including a strategy thematic analysis and identification of accountabilities and potential gaps in strategy execution and enablers and inhibitors identified by the community.
The research report also outlined regional transition models from literature with examples of National and International case studies

The role of innovative hubs in building community resilience
Get PDFInnovation ecosystems are presumed to be beneficial for local communities. Actors in roles of financial capital, government, incubators, education, research, and entrepreneurs collaborate to realise economic and social outcomes. These outcomes are expected to influence community resilience, defined in this research as economic, built environment/infrastructure, social and individual, and institutional resources that allow a community to thrive in conditions of uncertainty. Driven in part by these expectations, there has been significant growth in the Queensland innovation ecosystem. This growth includes the establishment and management of innovation hubs.
Yet there remains limited empirical evidence within literature demonstrating the link between innovation ecosystems and community resilience outcomes (Bristow & Healy, 2018; Simmie, 2014). There is also ambiguity in the constructs of the innovation ecosystem, innovation hubs, and community resilience. The emerging and socially constructed nature of the innovation ecosystem makes applying existing models to address this ambiguity through research difficult, as the models may not reflect the reality of those in a local community.
This research took a systems theory approach using actor network theory and critical realism to understand the role of the innovation hub in the innovation ecosystem, the contribution of the innovation ecosystem on community resilience, and the contribution of the innovation hub on community resilience. This was achieved through a literature review, assessment of the Australian context, and 147 interviews with roles across 16 regions in Queensland, Australia. Interviews were performed using an appreciative inquiry approach. Data was coded based on actors and roles, the sentiment as a benefit or barrier for the contributing and receiving role, and the expected impacted community resilience indicator. Results were analysed using social network analysis.
This research suggests that the innovation ecosystem and the innovation hub have an enabling and inhibiting contribution towards community resilience. The innovation hub performs functions that are core to its services for innovation and entrepreneur outcomes, internal to operational capability and capacity, external influence to work with the local ecosystem, and external concern where it may not be involved but impacts outcomes. The interaction of the innovation hub with other roles is reviewed to consider strategies to influence the impact on community resilience.
This research advances the body of knowledge through the relationships between the three constructs of the innovation ecosystem, the innovation hub, and community resilience, as well as the application of systems theory, actor network theory and critical realism for innovation ecosystems. Policy can benefit from guidance on planning and development related to multiple innovation ecosystem roles. Finally, practitioners can use the results to develop strategies and build sustainability into their business models
