Investing in Hi-tech
South Australia leapt into the future to ensure our companies are building capability and sustainability for the next decade, in preparation for a technological transformation. With the rare ability to rapidly scale a skilled workforce to meet the needs of global technology companies, providing infrastructure, safety and security, South Australia is one of the best places in the world to establish or expand operations.
One of the world's largest technology and professional services firms, Accenture (NYSE:ACN), will establish the Accenture Adelaide Hub, which is expected to create up to 2,000 new jobs over five years and will strengthen Adelaide's position as a global leader in the hi-tech sector.
