Tech Quiz: Australia & Technology

Australia has long been a pacific hub for multinational organisations, attracted by the stable business environment, talented workforce and common language.

Only this week Sydney played host to the OpenStack Summit, and numerous other conferences will take place over the coming months.

But Australia has contributed several well-known inventions to the world and its cities, often ranked as some of the world’s most liveable, are embarking on innovative smart city projects to cope with growing urbanisation.
