from her position on the board of the world’s biggest electric vehicle company, said the shift to the new industry could be achieved without government incentives to subsidise manufacturing.
“And moving up the value chain is important for job creation but it’s also important in terms of the economics that can be yielded with that. And that’s why, from my perspective, the time to act on that is now.” “So, to me, the fact that we don’t currently have a car manufacturing industry in Australia is actually not a bad thing because we have the skills, and we can retool and get people into advanced manufacturing.”
Denholm is also the chair of the Technology Council of Australia and used her speech on Wednesday to call for more investment in skills and vocational education, a better-skilled migration system to attract global talent, and more encouragement of young Australians to embark on tech careers.
