Dex - Digital eXchange - Regional Stakeholders

Digital Capacity

GOAL: We will facilitate leadership and strategic intent to make SEQ the most digitally capable region in Australia.

Digital capacity is a driving factor in each of the four other areas of interest in this project. Efficiency gains in transport and logistics and in smart manufacturing, along with changes in the way people work and do business, are intimately bound to the effective adoption of digital resources. Both the education and health components of human capital are radically changing in light of high speed broadband and the emergence of 'online' health and education services.

Around the region RDAs are working hard to promote digital literacy and the uptake of digital technologies. Digital strategies are guiding region specific initiatives. Key projects which will support SEQ in its goal to become the most digitally capable region in Australia include:

GeoNexus' Under-sea cable project into the Sunshine Coast which will provide a 300km radius of increased bandwidth, and make SEQ the second region in Australia with direct cable connection to the USA.
The Digital Work Hub project, which has completed research and is now ready to introduce location partners with investors to establish a network of hubs across SEQ.
The second CLICK! Digital Expo on 13-14 March 2014. Featuring seminars with live-streaming and exhibits from leading digital providers, the event will help businesses and not-for-profits across SEQ explore the snowballing power and potential of the digital marketplace.
