Deloitte Access Economics in its report says that to adopt digital technology for Australia, it has to add $66 billion in its GDP in the span of five years.

The growth of ICT jobs has already reached to 60% in past five years, which costs to $3.2 billion alone in the year 2016-17.

In the same time, the ICT R&D has observed 50% growth which now reached to $6.6 billion.

But this is not even close to what is required, Kathryn Matthews, Access Economics Partner, gives a cautious quote that it could put an end to digital journey and will find other nations in the driver’s seat. This would ultimately hamper the productivity.

From the group of 16 countries, Australia holds the position 12 in terms of business expenditure on R&D which, in itself, is a part of Gross Domestic Product of the country.
