The mission of the cluster is to “To facilitate the development of a sustainable Australian Embedded Systems industry." The Cluster's Mission and Objectives can be found here.
Project Proposals!
This year Embedded Systems Australia has been seeking proposals for industry-led collaborative projects.
Project Appaisal Workshops
A Stage 1 workshop was held on 11/4/2008 where we attempted to synthesise the list of 14 project proposals.A Stage 2 workshop on 21/4/2008 further refined our list of potential projects.
Working groups have now formed to explore each projects potential. Contact ESA AT nicta.com.au to learn more.
Capability Mapping Survey!
Embedded Systems Australia is conducting a nation-wide industry survey to better understand Australia's capability in Embedded Systems and related areas.

Embedded Systems Australia is a new industry cluster whose members are collaborating to strengthen the embedded systems and related industries in Australia. The cluster aims to provide the following business benefits to participating companies:
- expanded market opportunities
- resource exchange
- joint tendering
- identification of skills and synergies
- development of leads in new markets
The initial cluster consortium is representative of prominent companies, industry associations, NSW government and ICT research. The organisations exploring the cluster establishment include: AEEMA, BCS Innovations, CiSRA (Canon), Cochlear, iTech, Invetech, Machinery Automation Robotics, Microsoft, NICTA, NSW Department of State & Regional Development, ResMed and The Warren Centre; with assistance from Sinclair Knight Merz.
The cluster chairman is NICTA's CTO of Embedded Systems Dr Chris Nicol.
The cluster is still in its formative stages. Its first project is planned to be an Australia-wide capability mapping survey. Future project ideas under consideration by the cluster include:
- Technology road mapping for Australia.
- Collaborative industry projects.
- Promotion of embedded systems skills in secondary schools.
Cluster Launch — Tuesday 11/12/2007
The cluster had its official launch on Tuesday 11/12/2007 at the Premier's Reception Room in Governor Macquarie Tower.
Capability Mapping Survey
