What is a start-up? The term ‘start-up’ gets thrown around so often, but does anyone really know what it means? All businesses start somewhere – so what actually makes a ‘start-up’ special and how is it different to a traditional business?
In less than 10 years Australia’s technology start-up sector has gone from very little activity to an explosion of people and investment, and getting more prominent in the job creation for the future.
We are going to visit The Sydney Startup Hub, a $35 million investment backed by the NSW Government for a start-up and innovation hub, which occupies 17,000sqm across 11 floors. It is the place where talent, visiting experts and investors meet and collaborate.
We will learn about the start-up ‘ecosystem’ in Down Under as now one of the fastest-growing start-up sectors globally. We will also visit two important residents of the hub to learn about their businesses in technology. The Sydney Startup Hub is the first of its kind in Australia and is unmatched in the southern hemisphere in terms of its size and density, with the aim being to generate up to 6,500 new jobs across regional and metro NSW.
