NSW Innovation and Productivity Scorecards

About the Scorecards

Every two years, the NSW Innovation Productivity Council measures how NSW is performing in innovation and productivity.

This research helps the NSW Government make decisions and develop policies that support economic growth and innovation.

The result is the NSW Innovation and Productivity Scorecard. It shows how NSW compares to other Australian states and global peers in areas like:

• productivity and economic growth
• research investment and funding
• education, skills and talent
• ideas and inventions
• support for new and growing businesses
• sector performance.

The 2024 Scorecard includes:

• an interactive dashboard with 35 data points
• a companion report that explains what the numbers mean.
