The Australian Innovation Community

Andrew Downs will share the passion, insights and experiences he has gained from leading the SAGE Group, one of the most successful technology businesses to emerge from South Australia during the past decade.

In his presentation, Andrew will discuss his insights and experiences from managing the trajectory of a fast growth company including:

• Building a management team and keeping it aligned
• Playing to your strengths and delegating or recruiting to backfill any skill gaps
• How to thrive from, not just survive, a business “near death experience”.

A $30 million fund has been established to boost investment in innovation in manufacturing and technology-based industries in South Australia.

Innovation is vital to the successful long-term water management of the State’s water resources and is a key feature of the 2008 Australian Innovation Festival.

The ASDC is run by the National Space Society of Australia with the aim of increasing awareness of space in Australia and promoting space activites to businesses, governments and other interested organisations.
