About

This community of practice brings together professionals from government, industry and academia to share knowledge, best practices, and emerging trends in digital transformation. By fostering collaboration, the community aims to drive the development of connected, resilient, and sustainable digital infrastructure and services that enhance the region's economic growth and quality of life. Through workshops, structured dialogues, and networking opportunities, DIGITAL SEQ empowers its members to collectively address challenges and shape the future of the region's digital landscape.
The 'digital dividend'
Advancing the SEQ 'digital dividend' is at the heart of this community of practice, refering to the economic, social and environmental benefits derived from investing in digital infrastructure and data leadership. By enhancing digital connectivity, digital literacy, and our capability to do new things with data, the SEQ region can improve productivity, attract tech-driven and knowledge intensive industries, and support innovation. Access to the 'right' data insights enables better decision-making in sectors like transport, health, and urban planning. This digital transformation fosters a more efficient economy, creating new jobs, boosting regional competitiveness, and enhancing quality of life. As SEQ embraces the enabling power of digital and data, it positions itself as a leader in the digital economy in Australia and internationally.
