Overview
CSIRO is Australia's national science agency, established in 1926 and funded by the federal government to carry out research that industry alone would not undertake. Its inventions have repeatedly crossed into everyday use, most famously the wireless local area network technology behind modern WiFi, which generated hundreds of millions of dollars in licensing revenue, alongside polymer banknotes, extended-wear contact lenses and the Hendra virus vaccine. The agency runs national research infrastructure including radio telescopes and high-security biosecurity laboratories, and its Data61 unit is the largest data science and digital research group in the country.
