Moments from other conversations on the network where Tech Council of Australia comes up.
“the Tech Council of Australia released an Impact of AI on the Australian Economy report last year in 2024, and the premise of the findings were really quite simple.”
“that explains why the Tech Council of Australia is so important too. Startup Oz essentially wound, I mean, wound itself down and has been replaced earlier this year by the Tech Council, which I'm excited about and will hopefully drive that mission forward.”
“The Tech Council of Australia is really leading the charge on creating national collaboration or opportunities to collaborate. I don't see it as an issue, and I'll explain why.”
