As Australia grapples with the profound economic impact of COVID-19, we have a unique opportunity to position Australia as a technological powerhouse driven by a clean and sustainable economy, skilled workforce and world-class research activity and commercialisation.
ACTIVATE 2022 will bring together 500 high-level representatives from across government, business and academia and feature keynote conversations between global and national future shapers, prominent technology entrepreneurs, industry leaders and researchers who will share their vision for a technology powered, human driven future for all Australians.
This event will:
- Unite Australia’s leading engineering and technology entrepreneurs to ensure the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences & Engineering (ATSE) helps build a sustainable and prosperous Australia.
- Celebrate local and global excellence in applied science, technology and engineering and award Australia’s emerging innovators.
- Activate policymakers, CEOs and academics in charting a course for Australia’s globally focused STEM workforce and catalyse a technology-powered, human-driven future.
We will also celebrate the outstanding achievement of Australians across five prestigious award categories, working in applied science, technology and engineering. The annual ATSE Awards will showcase the winners in an exclusive gala dinner event on October 26 at Doltone House Jones Bay Wharf in Sydney. Nominations for the ATSE Awards close on 20 June 2022.
