Karen Andrews made it plain last week she really likes Industry Growth Centres, she made it plainer yesterday

The Industry, Science and Technology minister yesterday announced $8.5m in project funding for the Australian Cyber Security Growth Network, one of the Industry Growth Centres.

The money will, “help the Australian cyber security industry grow and take ideas global.”

The announcement follows her speech last week in which she made clear the IGCs were as important as the cooperative research centres programme. What, like the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre, set up last year, which, “is focused on delivering industry-driven cyber security research outcomes that have impact and address real-world cyber security problems with innovative solutions?”
