About the IPC's Scorecards
Every two years, the NSW Innovation and Productivity Council (IPC) takes stock of our state’s innovation and productivity performance.
The result? The NSW Innovation and Productivity Scorecard.
The Scorecards gives you the hard facts and figures that show where NSW stacks up to Australian and international counterparts, when it comes to matters like productivity, economic growth, how we educate, win funding for research, skill up, attract talent, create and support new, innovative businesses, and set ourselves up to scale them. The insights help inform NSW Government policy development and decision-making.
The 2024 Scorecard comprises an interactive dashboard (access below) where you can explore data for 35 metrics, and an accompanying companion report which explains what the data means.
