Editor's Notes
- Life will never be the same again: Fires, Floods, corona virus – any stats would be great re economic and social impact – include UN prediction that by 2030 6bn people in the world will not have access to clean drinking water – image of drought in Queensland – its here now and the world will need solutions or our people inland will have to desert their towns – solutions we can and are developing in Queensland
- Democratisation of information and rapid growth of information (doubling every 12 hours). Generation of new technology – AI (already here – our phones – give an example), robotics (manufacturing productivity and access to dangerous situations – MSV Queensland example), big data (example in health diagnostics – MSV Q’lnd investment), IoT (productivity in ag – MSV investments plus myriota making it low cost), breakthroughs in food (V2 foods), breakthroughs in medicine (give an example, ideally Queensland based) and eventually the merging of human with machine as cyborgs or at the very least having computer chips inserted in our brains. Apart from the last one, that is under development definitely in the US and quite probably very advanced in China, the rest are here now Emesent has developed Hovermap, the world’s first autonomous mapping and navigation solution designed for the underground. The Hovermap UAV solution brings visibility, measurement and monitoring to mines, tunnels and sewers, without putting people or equipment at risk. Hovermap does not need light, prior knowledge of the site to be flown, or GPS coverage.
- and eventually the merging of human with machine as cyborgs or at the very least having computer chips inserted in our brains. Apart from the last one, that is under development definitely in the US and quite probably very advanced in China, the rest are here now
- Our economies will never be the same again: 75% future high growth industries need STEM, 65% don’t yet exist. Stats on Australians studying STEM. Stats on India. We have work to do. Challenging as we need our young people to build the new industries – so different to the world we entered where the career path was relatively obvious
- Doing things differently will have to become the new norm. ESTEAM and innovation key. Diversity key (women stats re current engagement, plus stats on success of women led companies, plus hub in Tel Aviv story). Collaboration key
- Countries globally addressing this: The obvious ones – Israel, the startup nation – give stats, and mothers who tell their kids to be entrepreneurs. Other less talked about examples such as Vietnam - predicted job losses (7.8M), and Vietnam’s response; China spending on AI - 60% of worlds spending, plus mass entrepreneurship; India example. Now is not the time to be complacent or to think we can pretend its not happening. Now is the time to accelerate. We have the knowledge, the know how, the economic and political, relatively speaking, stability. We have the support structures available
- And Queensland has been ahead of the game in Australia – for several decades. Queensland should be proud of its long history of engaging in innovation, investing in the necessary infrastructure and support over decades, starting right back with The Smart state Slide on AQ – stats on jobs and investment and companies helped, examples of what done – eg AI Hub, Women founders, robotics cluster, Deadly Innovation, Regional investment in ecosystem building, such as the Smart Precinct in Townsville, The Precinct as a hub to connect us in SEQ, QCN Fibre, something about schools kids and STEM, seek others ideas on what to highlight across government and across ecosystem (so including Boeing etc)
- We have a choice - do we want to have a slow growth economy or a fast growth economy – do we want our children to have well paying jobs – do we want to solve big global social and environmental challenges so our standard of living remains the best in the world - and do we want to make sure no one is left behind ? Because it’s the right thing to do sure, but also because we need peace prosperity and security. The rest of the world is acting urgently. Queensland has been making great progress. But its not time to slow down. Its certainly not time to leave it to someone else. WE, all of us, need to join in and drive our future and that of our State, our nation, and our children. We look forward to working with all of you to make this a reality, to truly make Queensland THE Smart state, the safe state, the prosperous state, the secure state.
