Supporting Australia to thrive through technology and engineering
Australia, and the world, are in the midst of health, ecological, and economic crises. Engineering, technology, and other applied sciences can turn these enormous challenges into opportunities. With an extraordinary network of leading experts, the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering can support the nation to drive a visionary transformation towards a sustainable, connected, human-centred and tech-forward Australia that makes decisions and builds systems based on evidence.
