Industries are being transformed by new business models and disruptive technologies. 

[Image changes to show a graph depicting stacked money on the vertical line and buildings on the horizontal line and then the graph disappears and mountains, trees, windmills, sun and clouds appear around the buildings]

Rising incomes around the world are creating new markets and new competition and constraints on our natural resources means businesses have to think more sustainably.

But what does this all really mean for Australia?

[Image changes to show crossroads displaying signs “Opportunities” and “Risks”]

What opportunities and risks will these mega trends create? 

[Image changes to show a line connecting the word “Innovation” to a light bulb and then the image changes to show a bag inside a circle surrounded by question marks and text appears: Prepare, Uncertain, Future]

How can Australian businesses use technology and innovation to unlock these opportunities and most importantly what can we do now to prepare ourselves for an uncertain future?

That’s where we can help.

CSIRO Futures works with some of Australia’s largest businesses and Government, to help answer these important questions.

It’s all part of our role as Australia’s innovation catalyst.

The future is full of opportunities and the decisions we make today can put us on the right path to realising them.
