Internet Industry Association

Research and Internet Industry to Convene on the Digital Economy

The Internet Industry Association in collaboration with the CCI Centre of Excellence will hold their first joint industry/research showcase forum in Sydney on 2 December (afternoon, venue and time TBC). 

The forum seeks to implement IIA's pre-election policy Manifesto* recommendation for greater collaboration between the industry and research sectors on matters relating to the digital economy. 

Priority areas in which good evidence based policy is warranted: 

• eSecurity

• innovation in broadband applications and services

• achieving an adequate balance of rights in the copyright sphere while stimulating the development of new business models for online content delivery

• cybersafety, particularly with regard to children; and  

• online privacy. 

This inaugural meeting will herald to start of what we hope will become a strong and mutually beneficial relationship and help propel Australia to the forefront of digital economies globally.
