Fathom has just been named in The Australian’s inaugural list of 100 top innovators for 2021, which celebrates the future-focused leaders and companies who are elevating Australia’s status as an “innovation nation”.
A world-class advisory panel of ten experts contributed to the list, among them David Gonski, Julie Bishop and Atlassian Work Futurist, Dominic Price.
David Swan, Editor of The List: Australia’s Top 100 Innovators, and Paul Howes, National Managing Partner, Enterprise, KPMG Australia said that we all have a role to play in driving the innovation that will lead to Australia’s continuing success.
“We are proud to celebrate the ideas, individuals and businesses moving us forward as a nation and on the global stage. These are the people and organisations who are rethinking, reorienting, and reinventing how we do what we do.”
The list highlights Australia’s most innovative individuals and clever companies, and covers categories such as energy, technology, finance, business, software, education, medicine, healthcare, agriculture, food, retail, sport, and arts and design.
Fathom is recognised alongside other innovation leaders Canva, Afterpay and Airwallex. There are 13 companies listed in the Business and Software category alongside Fathom, including Dovetail, Deputy, SafetyCulture, Employment Hero and Octopus Deploy.
“We just found the people who are doing really unique, innovative things and the stuff that people would want to learn about,” says Swan.
“These are examples of Australian-born innovators who are exporting their ideas to the global stage and bit-by-bit transitioning our workforce into the jobs of the future.”
