Industry and Innovation Funding

In reply to Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (31 July 2017). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy): I have been advised:

Workshops were held in May and June 2016, to bring together the innovation community in South Australia which included businesses, investors, university and government representatives. The cost of the workshops was $16,600.

The Innovation for Jobs Statement was released on 11 July 2016. The cost to develop this initiative was $38,000.

Total cost was therefore $54,600.
