Editor's Notes
- Emergence of start-ups, business accelerators, co-working spaces, markets and entrepreneurial hotspots Entrepreneurial activities are the bread and butter of an economy driven by innovation Increasingly use of digital technology to ensure that people and ideas do have to be co-located with established research and development institutions, like universities, CSIRO, technical hubs has meant that we now see innovation as a system of activities that occur across regional Australia. Not centralised in traditional hubs like Geelong, Broken Hill and Mildura. To find out where in regional Australia we see innovation The RAI had a look into it. As a not for profit think tank we can ask questions and investigate issues to inform policy makers and at all levels and people on the ground about where they sit in relations to other places.
