Hi there

The Sunshine Coast, Australia is uniquely positioned to allow technology, ideas and innovation to flourish. In fact, it's fast becoming well-known in the global tech industry as the ideal location to start or grow a tech business. 
 
Situated in a prime location, the Sunshine Coast International Broadband Network (SCIBN) provides the fastest connection from Australia's east coast to Asia and the second fastest to the US.
 
SCIBN, including the new Maroochydore City Centre digital assets, provides an opportunity for research organisations, government and businesses to accelerate the development of new technology software, hardware equipment and devices.
 
This month, we focus on the growing tech opportunities here on the Sunshine Coast.
