On January 19, 2017 at the BPPT office building in Jakarta, KSI held a discussion themed "Commercialization of Research Results & Patent Application". The speakers were Dr Terri Lomax, RTI International’s Vice President for Discovery Science Technology (DST) and Dr Nurul Taufiqu Rochman, Head of Innovation Center at Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI).
“To be blessed with an abundance of natural resources can be a curse. Some resource-rich local governments in Indonesia have not seen the need to be creative and innovate to develop their regions. Innovation is a crucial element to boost sustainable development. We must also not forget that local wisdoms play important role in leveraging regional innovation.” said Dr Bambang Brodjonegoro, the Minister of National Development Planning in his opening remarks at the KSI-supported National Seminar on “Innovative Development, Creative Leaders and Competitive Regions”, held in Jakarta on 11 January 2017.
Canberra’s Shine Dome, the venue for the first Australia Indonesia Science Symposium, is a wonderful location to reflect on what has occurred in November, and where KSI is going. It is hard not to agree that the building is itself a statement of innovation, understanding of time, and is befitting of its surroundings and environment.
