Seminar Series: Technology Trends 2004
Ric Clark
Ric Clark is the inaugural Director of Business Development of
National ICT Australia Limited (NICTA). Ric is responsible for
NICTA's commercialisation and intellectual property activities and
leads the Centre's industry development and outreach program. One of
NICTA's key missions is to fund, create, and commercialise
intellectual property to enable the benefits of the Centre's
research to flow to the Australian community. NICTA will act as a
catalyst to encourage its staff as well as industry and other
research institutions to interact and undertake ICT
commercialisation to increase Australia's economic standing, and
derive income for the local ICT industry and the centre. Pivotal to
these efforts is building strong networks with the Australian ICT
industry and research community and other 'vertical' industries
where ICT is a key enabler.
Ric joins NICTA from Ericsson where he was Managing Director of
its Research and Development company, Ericsson AsiaPacificLab
Australia and has acted as a Director on several ICT start-ups.
He is an active contributor to university syllabus and industry
development and has been involved in various advisory groups with
State and Federal Government, including the Victorian Comtechport
Technical Users Group, Chipskills, the Victorian State Government
ICT Advisory Group, the Federal Electronic Action Agenda Committee
and Framework for ICT Future Steering Group. Ric is currently a
member of the Electronic Industry Action Agenda Advocacy Group.
