I am honoured to be leading the 2016 delegation on innovation to Israel and Palestine, hosted by Australia-Israel Labor Dialogue with the support of the Australia Israel Chamber of Commerce.

For Labour, innovation policy applies not just to a small section of the economy, but to every enterprise. It applies not just to industry, but to universities, vocational education, research institutes, the public sector and the trade union movement.

The social democratic vision of innovation is about building a better world, for everybody. It is fundamental to the labour movement and to the Australian Labour Party.

This delegation is an important opportunity to build closer relationships, exchange ideas and gain valuable insights into how Israel fosters its thriving innovation ecosystem, and how Palestinian innovators address their challenges.

I hope that you can join me.

- Senator Hon Kim Carr, Shadow Minister for Innovation
