By David Swan, Technology Editor
Major corporates are getting behind an initiative to suspend proposed changes to R&D tax concessions, which some say would decimate Australia's technology start-up industry.
More than 3,500 people have signed a petition to stop the changes, with business heavyweights David Kirk, Geoff Levy, Marcus Tierney and Andrew Walsh all publicly declaring that the changes would hurt the local industry.
