Over the past year, RedFire Consulting Group has evaluated the South Australian early stage innovation ecosystem and government-funded programs.

RedFire has now developed an implementation plan to improve South Australia’s innovation ecosystem. The plan contains recommendations around three separate categories:

• Government administration and policy: the plan establishes a framework for innovation policy development, implementation and management
• Entrepreneurial activity and capability: the plan recommends ways to create a vibrant and scalable level of entrepreneurial activity
• Investment: the plan builds upon the development of entrepreneurial activity and capability by continuing support for companies that have developed into attractive investments.

The South Australian government is considering a response to the recommendations in the report.
