The Australian today published its third annual edition of The List: 100 Innovators 2023.
Celebrating and highlighting Australia’s best next-generation leaders, The List: 100 Innovators covers categories such as energy, software, technology, AI, finance, manufacturing, hardware and infrastructure, cyber security, medicine and healthcare, education, agriculture, environment, food, retail and e-commerce, space, travel and art and design.
The List: 100 Innovators 2023 is edited by technology editor David Swan and curated by an advisory panel assembled by The Australian.
The panel includes Didier Elzinga, founder, Culture AMP; Dom Price, Atlassian work futurist and keynote speaker; Edwina McCann, editorial director and publisher, News Prestige; Jane MacMaster, chief engineer, Engineers Australia; Julie Bishop, chancellor, Australian National University; Kate Pounder, CEO, Tech Council of Australia; Roy Green, emeritus professor, University of Technology Sydney; Sally-Ann Williams, CEO, Cicada Innovations; Amanda Price, head of high growth ventures, KPMG; and Steve Vallas, MD, Blockchain APAC.
Swan said now in its third edition, it’s been more difficult than ever to whittle down the nation’s top innovators to a mere 100 people.
"I owe a great deal to our advisory panel who helped to shape the list and provide invaluable insights into who must be on it," he said.
“The list is by no means definitive – it’s not supposed to be – and besides, there are far more than 100 innovators across the country. But it is a snapshot of some of the most wild, provocative, ambitious things happening right now across our labs, offices and classrooms, and the people bold enough to try them.”
The cover story features Tesla chair and Blackbird operating partner Robyn Denholm, who sits down for an interview about the DNA behind Tesla. Also in the issue is Australia II skipper John Bertrand, who speaks about his team’s famous 1983 America’s Cup victory and the parallels he draws from that time to thriving as an entrepreneur today; and professor Nick Opie, one of the brains behind clinical trials that are helping paralysed people to control computers with their minds.
The issue is supported by key advertisers including KPMG Australia, Audi, TechnologyOne, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Rolex, Paspaley, Omega and Viking.
The List: 100 Innovators 2023 magazine is available online exclusively to subscribers at theaustralian.com.au and as a glossy magazine inserted into The Australian newspaper today.
