- New and emerging technologies including quantum computing, artificial intelligence and blockchain present significant opportunities for people, businesses and the broader economy.
- The Australian Government wants to leverage the countries highly educated and digitally literate workforce and build capability in a broad range of technologies including AI, robotics and the Internet of Things in order to expand Australia’s technology industries.
