Sydney's Tech Central has further cemented itself as the country's premier technology innovation district with the official opening today of a new scaleup hub on Pitt Street.
Minister for Enterprise, Investment and Trade Alister Henskens said the Tech Central Scaleup Hub, run by Stone & Chalk, is designed to help Australian technology scaleups and startups grow, create jobs and attract world-leading companies to NSW.
"The Scaleup Hub is right in the heart of Sydney's Tech Central District and is at the forefront of the NSW Government's strategy to attract investment, accelerate growth and ensure the jobs of the future are created here in NSW," Mr Henskens said.
"Set across six levels and 8,000 square metres of open and flexible space, the hub will help draw companies to Sydney and continue our push to make Sydney the major technology hub of the Asia Pacific."
Stone & Chalk CEO Michael Bromley said several innovative tech companies working in advanced manufacturing, Fintech and education are already in place and working from the hub, with opportunities for more to join.
"This is Stone & Chalk's second hub in Sydney and builds on our mission to help transform NSW into a sustainable technology-driven economy," Mr Bromley said.
"We are calling on cutting-edge companies looking to expand and grow to set up in the scaleup hub and take advantage of all the exciting opportunities that Tech Central has to offer."
Country manager of new resident 3D printing company Nano Dimension, Omer Tangi, said the hub's proximity to leading industry experts and institutions such as the University of Technology was a major drawcard.
"As an international scaleup this is our first location in Australia and we are excited to be around other innovative scaleups as we use advanced 3D printing technologies to reshape and redefine the future of electronics production," Mr Tangi said.
"Proximity to world-class universities such as UNSW and UTS plus other Tech Central residents including Atlassian, Commonwealth Bank and Cicada Innovations is great for our growing company."
The new Scaleup Hub will support the NSW Government's target of bringing 25,000 future-focused innovation jobs to NSW.
