The Australian has published its fourth annual edition of The List – Top 100 Innovators 2024: The Next Wave.
Identifying the nation’s best inventors and entrepreneurs, The List – Top 100 Innovators 2024 features the most exciting ideas emerging across the country, ranging across industries, from space to cyber security, travel to fashion, energy to infrastructure. Plus, a special focus on health.
The issue is supported by key advertisers including Omega, Rolex, Viking, True North, and Travel Associates.
The Australian’s managing director and publisher, Nicholas Gray said: “The influential journalism of The List franchise offers a premium environment for advertisers who are looking to engage with this audience. Across The Australian’s gloss print and digital platforms, The List has proven to be a huge success, with these bespoke issues driving new subscribers. We’re proud of The Australian’s latest contribution to the Contest of Ideas.”
The List – Top 100 Innovators 2024 is edited by editor Helen Trinca and technology editor Jared Lynch with a world-class advisory panel helping select the Top 100. The panel includes Damian Kassabgi, CEO, Tech Council of Australia; Scott Farquhar, co-founder, Atlassian; Romilly Madew, CEO, Engineers Australia; Andy Jane, managing director, Life Sciences at Talu Ventures; and Roy Green, emeritus professor, University of Technology Sydney.
Trinca said: “Our fourth annual Innovators List celebrates, explains and analyses the impact of innovation on our society – and looks forward to what we might see in the future with the explosion of generative AI and its application to so many sectors of the economy.
“We have selected 100 innovators doing interesting work across a range of sectors from energy to e-commerce. It doesn’t pretend to be a definitive list of the brilliant and committed Australians who get up every day, determined to turn their idea into reality. But our Top 100 Innovators List spotlights the talented people who, one way and another, are changing the way we live.”
Also in the issue are the views of several leading Australians – including Nobel Prize winner Professor Brian Schmidt, Professor Kathryn North, who runs the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, and one of the country’s best known tech leaders, Daniel Petre – about the challenges and opportunities facing Australian entrepreneurs. Plus it looks at how key sectors are adopting technology and adjusting to the realities of doing new things at a time of economic uncertainty.
The Australian will officially launch the Top 100 Innovators magazine today at SXSW Sydney with a unique client experience at Thrive House onboard LawConnect Superyacht. Senior corporate leaders and some of the young entrepreneurs featured in the magazine will sail Sydney Harbour to discuss the latest technological advances and their impact.
The List – Top 100 Innovators 2024 magazine is available online exclusively to subscribers at theaustralian.com.au and as a glossy magazine inserted into The Australian newspaper today, Friday October 18.
