Innovation Agenda

innovationThis week the government released its National Innovation and Science Agenda Report.

One of the recommendations includes:

We will bring entrepreneurs and other innovative talent to Australia by:

  • Introducing a new Entrepreneurs Visa for up and coming entrepreneurial talent;
  • Actively seeking out and encouraging talented individuals to come to Australia, using existing Government overseas networks; and
  • Enhancing pathways to permanent residency for high quality STEM and ICT post-graduate students.

Apparently changes are 12 months away….but watch this space.
