Transcript Strategy 2 - CRC for Spatial Information

The Global and Local Situation
Analysis
What Conditions are we Planning For?
Background - The Global Spatial
Landscape
•
Geoservices industries growing at 35% compound (Oxera, 2012)
•
3000 satellite payloads scheduled for launch over next 20 years
•
Lightweight satellites big movers. Companies like Skybox Imaging and Planet Lab are planning to launch over 100 satellites
between them, some as small as shoeboxes.
•
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for Earth Observation most popular launches over next 5 years
•
But, the global remote sensing market is forecast to only grow at an 8% pa compound between now and 2019, on thin
margins.
•
LiDAR now dominating airborne research agenda
•
AV’s: A dozen US states with legislation for autonomous vehicles (terrestrial and airborne)
•
Legislation: In 2015 the US Federal Aviation Administration will open the market for commercial Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAVs). Costs are expected to fall rapidly
•
GNSS enabled smart phone sales 22% pa growth
•
Investments in mobility to grow from 17% pa (2011) to 82%pa (2016)
•
G&RNSS: Global and Regional Navigation Satellite Systems will grow from 77 (2014) to 124 (2020)
•
Significant growth in indoor positioning devices and applications is being fueled by Apple iBeacon, Google Maps Indoors,
SkyHook, IndoorAtlas, Nokia-HERE, Ubisence and Broadcom, amongst others.
The Global Spatial Landscape
cont.
•
Now 178 wearable devices on the market or soon to be launched for a range of uses including industrial, medical, gaming,
fitness, lifestyle and entertainment. Augmented reality devices like Google Glass are among them. More than 50% have
inertial measurement units.
•
Market for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) was $552.4 million in 2012, and is growing rapidly towards an expected $14.6
billion in 2019
•
New algorithms are being developed that analyse the history of movement of any individual and predict behaviours. These
are being powerfully aided by the ‘always online whether we know it or not’ phenomenon.
•
GDP: Developments in global technology are set against the backdrop of the global economy. Global GDP growth is expected
to be 2.9% in 2014, up from the 2% in 2013.
•
Government debt levels are expected to grow in 2014
•
Global productivity growth is considered to be slow at a forecast 2.3% for 2014 as a result of predominantly weaker
demand, a mismatch in resource allocation between labour and capital, and suboptimal innovation outcomes despite
technology advancements in mature economies
•
Open access, open standards, open systems and free pricing being pushed very hard in Europe, UK, US and Australia
•
Open data could add $13T to world economy over next 5 years, equal to 1% of world growth, $16B to Australian economy
(Lateral Economics report, 2014, for the G20)
•
Collaboration tools will increase from 18% to 26% (44% growth) by 2016

The ANZ Spatial Landscape
•
GDP growth of 3% in 2014 (at world average)
•
Debt: National Government debt levels low by international standards (<25% of GDP for Australia, ~35% for New Zealand)
•
Expenditure: Most ANZ governments are substantially reducing the rate of growth of their expenditure
•
Productivity flat and of real concern to government and industry
•
Strategy: Both the Business Council of Australia and the Australian Chief Scientist calling for a national strategy, especially for
STEM, and to also address education and skilled capacity building
•
Increased interest from Government in having Australia retain ‘indigenous capability’ especially in GNSS and EO.
•
The ‘Open’ agenda is driving Australian and New Zealand government to redefine their role in data production and
management. They will do less creation, blend much more data with industry and community, focus more on standards,
accept volunteered data, and contemplate more targeting regulation
•
Increased tension between the ‘open’ agenda versus privacy and cyber security
•
BuildingSmart calling on the Australian Government to mandate use of BIM’s for building and planning
•
Collaboration: Australian businesses that collaborate are 55% more likely to report increased productivity (Australian
Innovation Systems Report, 2012)

Workshop Output
Australian Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane said on 29
September 2014 that the government would soon
release its "Competitiveness Agenda”
"One of the key elements of this strategy will
be to draw science further into industry policy
and to create stronger links between business,
research and science”

Overall Summary
•
The Board of 43pl feels that 43pl needs to become more assertive and take on a
proactive role in determining research and innovation priorities of the CRCSI
•
The possibility of an effective merger of CRCSI and 43pl should be fully explored
–
1 combined Board of highest calibre candidates
•
While the loss of 25% of the income by the CRCSI from the Australian Govt CRC
post 2018 program is significant, it comes with new levels of flexibility and
significantly reduced reporting and administration effort
•
To succeed without CRC Program funding post 2018, the combined CRCSI/43pl
must transition to:
–
An Agile Business Model
– Robust Governance
– Strong Capabilities in the Future
Next Steps
• Feedback from Perth Workshop 14 Oct
• Revised Strategic Plan
