Electronics is a key contributor to the
Australian Economy

• Electronics is a significant enabler that
  underpins growth and innovation in virtually all
  industries.
• For example it is estimated that 90 of all
  future innovation in the automobile industry will
  be driven by electronics, with electronics
  representing up to 40 of a vehicles production
  cost by 2010.
• According to the Defence Department, the value of
  electronics in defence related activities is even
  higher, with electronics representing up to 80
  of the production cost of a modern warship and a
  submarine.
