Welcome to Edition 4 of AusIndustry’s online bulletin, AusFocus.
Last week, Innovation Australia, in partnership with the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research Advisory Bodies, hosted the Innovation Australia Showcase 2011, Powering Productivity through Collaboration.
The event was held at the MCG in Melbourne and featured companies exhibiting hi-tech products made possible with help from the Australian Government – including AusIndustry.
In this issue of AusFocus we pay tribute to the achievements of some of our innovative customers.
