Society and the Citizen
South Australia has a long and proud tradition of being at the forefront of social innovation, and has at times 'punched above its weight' in this respect as a leader in social innovation. A number of projects relating to this alliance are currently under development.
The Arts
South Australia's Stategic Plan acknowledges that creativity is one of the State's key resources for future prosperity and achieving a sustainable society. It has been recognised that in this key resource the sectors with the greatest potential for growth are those focusing on digital technologies. A number of projects relating to this alliance are currently under development.
