Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science (as well as iconic hate figure of the Socialist Left), Christopher Pyne, will be travelling to Israel soon to gain further understanding from one of the most entrepreneurial lands on Earth.

Last month Israel’s chief scientist, Avi Hasson, suggested that greater collaboration between industry, academia, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists would be key to encouraging innovation.

“Whether you are an entrepreneur, a firm, a university or a country — the ones who are more successful are the ones who have the better ability and platforms to collaborate,”

As Israel spends roughly double what Australia does on R&D (as a percentage of GDP), it is encouraging to know the government’s innovation agenda will likely be emphasising we emulate Israel.

However it would be of greater encouragement if Malcolm and his moderates grew a pair and recognize the stagnation being created by the Islamo-Internationale.

Food for thought.
