Blue Sky Mining: Building Australias Next Billion Dollar Industries eBook: Adrian Turner, Ron Conway: Kindle Store. "When it comes to spurring innovation, pioneering new industries, stimulating economic growth, and creating jobs, any economy requires a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosphere. In Blue Sky Mining, Adrian Turner provides a recipe for fostering entrepreneurial growth and lays out a multi-faceted approach that I'd encourage people in business, academia, and politics to study."- Steve Case - Chairman and CEO, Revolution. Co-Founder, America Online. Chairman, The Case Foundation. Chairman of the Startup America Partnership, and co-chair of the National Advisory Council on Innovation and Entrepreneurship."Innovation is often confused with creativity and imagination but it is quite different. Innovation normally requires both but it only occurs when someone writes a cheque. For innovation to occur the marketplace has to anoint it. If no one pays for the idea it is not innovation. Adrian deeply understands this, and explains with clarity why all Australian ecosystem participants need to internalise this insight."- Peter C. Farrell PhD, DSc, AM - Founder, Chairman and CEO ResMed "After years of investing, in hundreds of startups I know that having the right ecosphere conditions for new venture creation is crucial to stacking the odds of success in favor of the entrepreneur and the new venture. They're essential for providing good investor returns that drive new investments. There are many possibilities for Australia, but the impression I get is that urgent action is needed. Time is running out. The talent is there, the creativity is there and even the inventions are there, but many necessary ecosphere conditions are not." - Ron Conway, Angel Investor
