Mission Overview | 1 Australia's Innovation SystemSubmission 53 - Attachment 1 Welcome to One Million Acts of Innovation ​OMAoI is a not-for-profit innovation incubator and 5 year campaign dedicated to fostering social and economic development in Australia.

Mission: to make Australia a world leader in innovation.

​Australia is falling behind in innovation.

Since 2004, we have dropped 10 places on the UN’s Global Innovation Index (GII), from #9 to #19, despite avoiding a recession.
Our strong economy has not produced a culture of creativity and risk.

The proportion of innovation-active businesses in Australia has hovered around 41% since 2006.

Large Australian businesses rank almost last in the OECD statistics on innovation.

​Innovation culture is collaborative, inclusive, and oriented toward action.
It thrives where people feel safe and empowered to take risks.

​OMAoI’s innovation platform and workshop offerings will catalyse a national culture of innovation by popularising principles of safety, inclusion, experimentation, and risk.

​We are preparing Australia to innovatively engage the future.

​The OMAoI launch will be marked by the start of a 5 year clock that counts down to the end of the decade.

​The launch event will highlight the beta projects that we have rolled out through 2014.

It will showcase our Innovation Ambassadors and community leaders, our educational resources and an online Workshop Development Toolkit.
| 7 Australia's Innovation SystemSubmission 53 - Attachment 1 A national community of innovators ​OMAoI is co-creating a national ecosystem of passionate people committed to innovation.

​The OMAoI community is inclusive.

We embrace all organisations that are inspired by the OMAoI mission.

​We’re speaking first to ‘peer progressives’ – people who believe that collaboration, participation, and democratisation are the most effective ways of getting things done.
​Digital natives feature heavily in this group.

Thought leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs from earlier generations will be critical partners as we expand the OMAoI community.
