Tesla chair Robyn Denholm predicts tech worker boom in western Sydney | newsandimages
Tesla chair Robyn Denholm expects a boom in technology-related jobs in western Sydney in the next five years, adding that the recent wipeout in global technology stock valuations would not hinder growth in the sector domestically.
The job cuts in the US and the pandemic have seen many Australian expatriate tech workers return home. “Our success means 2.2 per cent of the world’s tech unicorns have come from Australia, even though our share of global GDP is just 1.6 per cent.”“Now … we are seeing the great return of talent to this city and to our country, and even better our home-grown talent is staying home, creating some of the most exciting companies right here.”
Denholm said Australia needed to target strategic tech industries, which include areas such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence, robotics and software development.
