This is a great news for Australian citizens, representing the official large-scale development of the technology industry in Australia!
It was reported that the decision was jointly announced by the founder and CEO Scott Farquhar of the New State Prime Minister Gladys Berejiklian, Trade and Industry minister Niall Blair and Atlassian, showing the importance of the matter!
And the purpose of this Australian government is to create Australia's largest technology industrial park in order to vigorously develop the Internet economy!
Next, let the editor introduce it in detail.
Site selection
The park will be located south of CBD, Sydney, between Central Station and Eveleigh.
Red area is the general location of the park, the editor roughly estimated that the area of about 1 square kilometre! It can be said to be a very large area!
In the inch of gold CBD allocated such a large area for the campus, you can see the determination of government! At the same time, Sydney has further consolidated its position as Australia's "innovation capital".
development direction
According to statistics, 40% of start-up companies and 40% of R & D departments are in Sydney, and the campus can provide a good working and development environment for these companies and departments.
At the same time, government also wants this park to attract more technology companies around the world!
In addition, government hopes that the park will work with institutions of higher learning such as the University of Sydney, the University of Sydney Science and Technology and the University of New South Wales to place some of its laboratories on the campus.
It is reported that government will also add this park to the government Sydney's Startup Hub project, and the former in the vicinity of Wynyard Park together with another campus, in the CBD up and down closed-loop science and technology ecological area!
At that time, start-ups, world technology giants, university scientific research, entrepreneurship incubators will gather in the park, thus forming a good ecological environment, like Silicon Valley as a world-class science and technology park!
Establishment reason
Over the past 15 years, Australian academic technology has become increasingly advanced, and more IT graduates are eager for a job at a technology company.
At the same time, in recent years, Australia's rapid development of the technology industry, a large number of technology companies. Sydney now has a lot of technology companies, a lot of technology incubators, a lot of colleges and universities to develop IT major.
But these all lack a place to gather them together, form a "science and technology ecological chain"!
And this time the park just met this demand, integrating all the technology resources in Sydney!
Late effect
Atlanssian's CEO Scott Farquhar says the establishment of the park is of great strategic significance.
After its establishment, Australia will attract the best talents in Australia and the world to work in Sydney, creating great business value for Australia!
In addition, innovation center will also produce nearly 10000 new jobs! Solved a lot of "programmer" and other people's employment problem! To give their talent a place to play!
At the same time, the introduction of world technology giants and university research projects will upgrade this to the world's top technology center, further promote the development of the Internet in Australia, will also make Australia into the world's first echelon of Internet technology!
Therefore, whether it is the development of science and technology, or business value will have a huge leap!
In the real economy is mostly depressed today, Internet technology has become an important responsibility to lead a country's economic development!
There is no doubt that the new Sydney Science and Technology Centre will have a significant impact on Sydney and even Australia as a whole!
Since the park needs a large number of talents, I wonder if Australia's government will relax its current tight PR policy in the future?
