Sinodinos announces intention for women's advisory roundtable
28 February 2017 - The newly-appointed Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Senator Arthur Sinodinos, has announced an intention to establish a women’s advisory to guide policy in the innovation sector.
Addressing the Women in Venture Capital Forum last week in Sydney, the Minister said he wanted his stewardship of the portfolio to be marked by an Australia-wide adoption of an “innovation mindset” and assured the audience that the Government is committed to overcoming gender imbalance.
Minister Sinodinos said: “…I intend to establish a Women’s Advisory Roundtable to provide advice on growing opportunities for women in industry, innovation and science.”
“I envisage it being made up of representatives from the private sector, research institutions and government, including senior executives and actual practitioners.
