This study was prepared for the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Industry Capability Network (ICN). It provides a concise overview of the network’s origins, rationale, methods of operation and administration, economic impact and reasons for its remarkable longevity and success over the past four decades. It concludes by considering ICN’s prospects in an economic and political climate likely to be more conducive to its objectives, core competence and growth than that experienced over recent decades, particularly in the context of the broad-ranging ‘Future Made in Australia’ initiative.
