You are invited!

Join Australia’s business and industry elite at the Hyatt Regency Sydney to hear economist and best-selling author Mariana Mazzucato’s luncheon keynote, Q&A, and moderated panel session.

Professor Mazzucato, who has gained global prominence through books like The Entrepreneurial State, Mission Economy and – most recently – The Big Con, will provide a keynote address on industrial development and innovation in a less secure, more geopolitically fraught, post-Covid global environment.

Don't miss out on hearing from Professor Mazzucato, as well as:

The Hon Ed Husic MP, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science
The Hon Daniel Mookhey MP, New South Wales Treasurer
Dr Doug Hilton AO, Chief Executive, CSIRO
Professor Andrew Parfitt, Vice-Chancellor and President, University of Technology Sydney
Emily Scivetti, COO, Oceanex Energy
And, Geraldine Doogue AO, Australian journalist and broadcaster, as moderator.

Mariana Mazzucato is Professor in the Economics of Innovation and Public Value at University College London. Her policy views on industrial development and innovation are sought by policymakers all over the world.

Like much of the rest of the world, Australia is rethinking its approach to industrial policy in the wake of Covid-induced supply chain shocks, energy transition issues and the growing geostrategic competition. Professor Mazzucato’s Australian speaking tour arrives at a historically significant moment for the nation.

In fact, Australia’s industrial policy thinking has shifted in a way not seen in 40 years. Issues of sovereign capability, sovereign supply chains, friend-shoring, strategic alliances across critical technologies – these are all mainstream discussions today.

Professor Mazzucato will be available for a book signing following the luncheon.
