ADELAIDE CITY DEAL Foreword
Adelaide is a sophisticated and vibrant capital city renowned for its liveability and distinctive tourism, arts and cultural attractions.
Adelaide has a strong reputation for excellence in research and a thriving innovation economy. It is rapidly becoming the centre of future industries, including defence, space, advanced manufacturing and digital (for example machine learning and artificial intelligence, cyber and creative industries). The Adelaide City Deal has the potential to generate significant economic opportunities by growing the state’s skilled workforce and industries at the forefront of innovation and cutting-edge technologies. This partnership between the Australian and South Australian Governments and the City of Adelaide will enhance Adelaide’s position as an attractive place to live, study, work and do business. The City Deal will target investment that creates skilled and productive jobs of the future, boosts Adelaide’s population through migration and planning reforms, and enhances cultural experiences by generating greater opportunities in Adelaide’s robust visitor economy.
