Technology is central to nearly every aspect of our lives — even more so in the post-COVID world we’re all stumbling towards.
For individuals, it’s the key to maintaining connections with family and friends. For employees, it’s the basis for communication, collaboration, and productivity. For many organizations, it’s currently the only way to engage with customers and suppliers. And finally, for government agencies, it’s the primary mechanism for delivering services, updates, and information.
Other tech industry bodies have long existed in Australia, including AIIA, ACS, and StartupAus, the last of which has now merged into the Tech Council. But none have combined the vision and scope to represent the entire tech industry with the experience and influence to impact positive change at the policy level. This is the promise the Tech Council must deliver on.
The challenge for this new generation of influencers? Transforming the connections they’ve gathered while building successful Australian (and global) technology companies over the last decade into allies for driving positive change within the industry.
