Yes, I can. The government is committed to ensuring that Australia is a globally competitive exporter not just of products but also of intellectual property and research. Our National Innovation and Science Agenda has been helping the science and business communities do just that. Through our Global Innovation Strategy, the government have established five 'landing pads' for our young, fast-growing companies to access new markets and establish international profiles. In a recent survey of landing-pad participants, 100 per cent of respondents expect to achieve a commercial outcome as a result of participating in this program. The Global Connections Fund has provided over $2.8 million for our local businesses and researchers, in particular to collaborate with over 20 countries, including Brazil, China, Germany, Japan, the UK and the USA.
