A new coalition of industry groups has come together to champion key sectors that will carry the Australian economy out of the shadows of the mining boom into a new era of growth.
The new Future Economy Forum (The Forum) has an ambitious target to double employment across these sectors and supporting industries over the next 20 years.
Alina Bain, CEO Australian Services Roundtable, said: ‘’Australia needs to build innovative and agile services industries which will deliver growth and sustainable jobs for future generations.
‘’The new Future Economy Forum will work with government and industry to identify what needs to be done to promote industries for the future – to enable them to grow and make serious economic and employment contributions for the long term.’’
