What is the Information Economy?

The Information Economy is a term used to describe the economic and social value created through the ability to rapidly exchange information at any time, anywhere to any one.

The Science & Information Economy Directorate’s core responsibility is to create online opportunity for South Australia. We promote and support information economy developments within government, business, industry and community sectors. We ensure that leading strategic policy is developed in these sectors for economical and social benefit to the State. We achieve these responsibilities through projects such as ForwardIT and mEga.
