Models of National and Regional Economic Development

August 2011

Marcus Spiller of SGS Economics and Planning Pty Ltd joins Narelle Kennedy in arguing that not all foreign investment is equal. Australia should be more selective in the investment it attracts, concentrating on projects that leave a permanent legacy in Australian innovation and skills.

Marcus Spiller's address to Austrade's 'Winning Investment for Australia' program argues that not all foreign investment 'wins' are worth it. Rather, go for investments that build up Australia's home-grown capabilities. Marcus Spiller's presentation points to opportunities from investing in business clusters, shared social and economic value projects and in cities.
