The state\u2019s vision for a world-class innovation and technology precinct is coming to life, with Tech Central\u2019s Quantum Terminal welcoming its first tenants.
\nPremier Dominic Perrottet said supporting the growth of Australia\u2019s most ambitious innovation centre was more important than ever before.
\n\u201cWith first-class researchers and entrepreneurs eager to collaborate and an innovation precinct ready to support jobs growth, NSW is in pole position to become a global leader in technology,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\n\u201cTech Central is predicted to bring up to 25,000 jobs to NSW and will be a major player in accelerating our economic recovery and future-proofing our economy.\u201d
\nQ-Ctrl, Sydney Quantum Academy and Quantum Brilliance are now in place in Sydney\u2019s first centralised live collaboration space for researchers, developers, engineers and entrepreneurs \u2013 all working to advance quantum technology, high performance computing and artificial intelligence.
\nMinister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney and Minister for Trade and Industry Stuart Ayres said the Government was also focussed on helping businesses expand and enter their next phase of growth at Tech Central.
\n\u201cQuantum Terminal along with the rest of Tech Central will form one of the most vibrant innovation corridors in Australia,\u201d\u00a0Mr Ayres said.
\n\u201cBuilding on the opening of the Quantum Terminal, we\u2019re also investing up to $21 million to prioritise affordable accommodation for scaleups. From December, businesses can apply for rebates on rental and fit-out costs of up to $600,000 a year through the Tech Central Scaleup Accommodation Rebate.\u201d
\nThe Tech Central Scaleup Hub, located in the heart of the precinct at 477 Pitt Street, will be operated by technology community Stone & Chalk providing 8,000 square metres of affordable and flexible workspace for high-growth technology scaleups.
\nMinister for Digital and Customer Service Victor Dominello unveiled some of the digital tools that will power Tech Central\u2019s innovation ecosystem, including the digital twin an online interactive tool on the\u00a0Tech Central website,<\/a>\u00a0that allows people to explore the precinct and its surrounds \u2013 from businesses to bike lanes and bars.
\n\u201cThis is a modern government with a strong understanding of how to foster and harness technological and digital innovation for the good of our citizens and businesses,\u201d Mr Dominello said.
\n\u201cThe US has one Silicon Valley, NSW is investing in them across the city.\u201d
\nCEO of Tech Central Scaleup Hub operator Stone & Chalk Michael Bromley said the company was proud to be the partner of choice for the Government\u2019s growth agenda.
\n\u201cThrough our second Hub in Sydney, we\u2019ll be able to support domestic and international startups in their transition to becoming scaleups by providing vital access to the resources and infrastructure required for success,\u201d Mr Bromley said.
\nChair of the Tech Central Industry Advisory Group David Thodey said the opportunities for innovation and collaboration across the precinct were unrivalled.
\n\u201cThese facilities and support initiatives will help businesses both large and small, driving new opportunities for innovation and collaboration to build a sustainable and enduring world-class precinct.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
