In a post-COVID-19 world, innovation stimuli and well-aligned policies will assume even greater importance as various sectors seek to recover lost ground and to generate new opportunities. Collaborative partnering in innovation research and development (R&D) between private industry and higher education has increasingly emerged over the last decade as a leading key performance indicator for government policy development, and higher education research funding allocations. Recalibration of R&D-related policies and incentivisation will require careful consideration, with constructive lessons to be learned from outcomes over the last four decades. This paper presents findings from a new study of stakeholder perceptions as to the National Innovation and Science Agenda's impact on innovation partnerships, and synthesises outcomes from two prior studies. It then examines a newly proposed innovation policy framework, Stimulating Business Investment in Innovation (SBII), set against a background of the shifting mix of paradigms that have comprised Australian innovation policy over the last 40 years. It argues that, following the SBII, any proposed change of policy direction will face significant challenges in its implementation, requiring a fully committed and comprehensive embrace by Government of the new APS engagement framework and greater levels of deliberative democracy.

解决澳大利亚的合作“问题”：COVID-19 后是否有创新政策的美丽新世界？

在后 COVID-19 的世界中，随着各个部门寻求收复失地并创造新机会，创新刺激和协调一致的政策将变得更加重要。在过去十年中，私营企业和高等教育之间在创新研发 (R&D) 方面的合作伙伴关系越来越多地成为政府政策制定和高等教育研究资金分配的领先关键绩效指标。重新调整与研发相关的政策和激励措施需要仔细考虑，并从过去四年的成果中吸取建设性的教训。本文介绍了一项关于利益相关者对国家创新和科学议程对创新伙伴关系影响的看法的新研究结果，并综合了先前两项研究的结果。然后，它审查了新提出的创新政策框架，即刺激商业创新投资 (SBII)，该框架以过去 40 年来构成澳大利亚创新政策的范式组合不断变化的背景为背景。它认为，在 SBII 之后，任何提议的政策方向改变在其实施过程中都将面临重大挑战，需要政府完全承诺和全面接受新的 APS 参与框架和更高水平的协商民主。
