Description
Australia’s digital technology clusters have been mapped and analysed on a national scale for the first time.
This report explores how the geographical concentration of innovation – like Silicon Valley in California – boosts growth and productivity, and brings together rich data from across the nation to map and describe the range of digital technology clusters currently developing.
Key findings:
- There are 96 digital clusters across Australia, located in every state and territory.
- Australia has four superclusters, which are mega groupings of multiple clusters in the same city: the Sydney arc, the Melbourne diamond, the Brisbane corridor, and the Canberra triangle.
- Australia also has 60 greater city clusters, which are single clusters in greater capital city areas that have large and diversified tech workforces and companies.
