NSW Business Sector Growth Plan

The NSW Innovation Council has developed a plan to grow the NSW economy by building on our existing strengths, competitive advantage and emerging opportunities. Following extensive consultation with industry, including the Business University Government Forum and the Premier’s NSW Business Forum, the NSW Business Sector Growth Plan was released in September 2010.

The Business Sector Growth Plan sets out the following vision for the NSW economy:

In 2020 the NSW economy will be more than 30% larger than it is today, driven by growth in highly skilled, high value-added industries. It will be Australia’s leading creative, dynamic and globally engaged economy. The NSW industry base will be internationally recognised for its innovation, productivity, knowledge intensity, and carbon efficiency.

Further information on the Business Sector Growth Plan – and other Innovation Council projects and publications - is available on the Innovation Projects and publications page on this website.
