Digital technology and ICT opportunities
The Australian Government has announced its National
Innovation and Science Agenda (NISA) focussed
on building Australia as a hub for accessing niche
disruptive technologies. Prior to that, the Australian
Government also announced the launch of a Digital
Transformation Office (DTO), a dedicated agency to
lead digital transformation across Australia’s public
sector. The Australian Government has allocated $255
million (four years) to launch the DTO and pursue digital
projects.
These initiatives demonstrate Australian Government’s
strong commitment to supporting digital adoption and
innovation.
Australia’s ICT R&D sector has an enviable track
record and has produced outcomes applied across
the economy, in sectors ranging from ICT, mining
and advanced manufacturing to agribusiness,
e-government, health and financial services. Investors have the opportunity to leverage worldclass R&D facilities in Australia, either independently
or through collaboration with Australian research
organisations or companies. These facilities include:
4
•
Australia’s Synchrotron, offering access to eight
beam lines (with capacity for 32),
•
The Multi-modal Australian Sciences Imaging
and Visualisation Environment (MASSIVE),
which operates at over five and 10 teraflops.
It is the primary Australian high performance
computing facility for computational imaging and
visualisation.
•
The Australian National Fabrication Facility
supports fabrication of ICT-enabled soft and hard
materials for application in advanced sensors,
medical devices, nano-photonics and nanoelectronics.
Australia’s geography and dispersed population create
challenges that remote automation, simulation and
visualisation (ASV) technologies are well positioned to
address. For high cost and high risk industries - such as
mining, advanced manufacturing, defence and health - remote
ASV technologies can reduce costs, boost productivity and
make operations safer. Australia has a strong capability in the
development and deployment of these technologies.
The Australian Government invests heavily in remote ASV facilities and
projects to support innovation in the sector.
Mining: South Australia’s A$12.8 million Civil Train Skills Centre is the largest
heavy plant simulator training environment in the Southern Hemisphere and
provides training for the mining and civil infrastructure sectors.

explores automation technologies and robotics across industries including
aerospace, agriculture, defence, marine, medical, mining, intelligent systems and
safety systems.
Manufacturing/automation: The Centre for Intelligent Systems Research (CISR) which
develops state-of-the-art algorithms and methodologies to solve real world problems. Industry partnerships include: Boeing Research and Technology Australia, ABB
Robotics, GM Holden, Ford Motor Company and Vestas.
Construction: An A$14 million Building Leadership Simulation Centre which
uses technology to create a virtual workplace able to emulate the challenges
of being on a real building. It is one of only three such facilities in the world.
Health: South Australia’s Medical Device Research Institute builds and
tests physical and virtual simulators for high-risk, unusual or difficult
procedures that medical practitioners rarely experience in training,
using virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D visualisation, haptics
and GPU-boosted physical simulation technologies.
