Reimagination 2016
The purpose of the Reimagination Thought Leaders’ Summit 2016 and Digital Disruptors Awards is to bring together leaders from the technology industry, the wider business sector, the education and research communities and the political sphere to advance the conversation on entrepreneurialism, innovation and competitive advantage for Australia to create a vibrant and innovative technology sector able to take advantage of opportunities to prosper in the digital and knowledge economies.
Artificial intelligence, big data, automation and other technology areas offer the nation the ability to create new products and services across multiple sectors.
Having said this, issues around digital literacy across the broader population exist along with a decline in education standards combined with disruption of traditional business models. This raises questions about whether Australia can leverage opportunities such as these.
There is a clear need for Australia to foster practical adoption of innovation and entrepreneurialism not just so that our country isn’t a significant loser on the global stage, not just to compete on the global stage but how we can contribute and become a global leader.
To support Australia in this transition and on this journey, assuring the pipeline of future ICT human capital is a critical challenge to driving productivity and to enhance standards of living for developed economies, as well as raising standards of living for developing economies.
The Reimagination Thought Leaders’ Summit will feature international and Australian leaders that will provide practical know-how, critical thinking and their views and opinions on how Australia can flourish and prosper in the digital future and knowledge economy.
