CYBER SECURITY ATTRACT FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT TO AUSTRALIA’S CYBER SECURITY SECTOR Producing world-class cyber security research is one of Australia’s national science and research priorities, as set out in the National Innovation and Science Agenda. We will continue to promote Australia as a location of choice for global cyber security companies looking to establish a base in the Indo‑Pacific, and as a leading centre for cyber education and research. Australia has identified cyber security and related digital technologies as a target sector for attracting investment. As part of its strategy to promote, attract and facilitate productive foreign direct investment, the Australian Government will continue to work collaboratively with state and territory governments to provide qualified potential investors with information on the Australian business and regulatory environment, market intelligence and investment opportunities, and advice on government programs and approval processes. Australia will work through AustCyber to showcase our cyber security industry capabilities through an Australian Cyber Week. Annual workshops will follow thereafter to agree priority areas of focus in line with annual updates to Australia’s Cyber Security Sector Competitiveness Plan.
