MELBOURNE: Tech hub for Fishermans Bend
NEXTDC will build a new $2 billion next-generation digital campus in Fishermans Bend.
NEXTDC’s M4 Melbourne will feature an AI Factory, Mission Critical Operations Centre, and Technology Centre of Excellence – positioning Victoria as a national digital infrastructure hub.
It will create thousands of jobs in tech, AI, digital infrastructure, defence technology, advanced research and more.
The tech hub will be part of the Government’s Fishermans Bend Innovation Precinct, which is set to become a centre of innovation in advanced manufacturing, engineering and design and was kickstarted by an investment of almost $180 million by the State Government.
The precinct is projected to support up to 30,000 jobs in science, technology, engineering and associated fields by 2051.
Minister for Economic Growth and Jobs Danny Pearson (pictured) said: “This project will create high-skilled jobs for Victorians and lay the groundwork to support future developments in AI, advanced manufacturing and defence. We are working hard to attract and grow these opportunities, which are creating a thriving and globally competitive tech sector, right here in Victoria.”
