Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Continuing its policy of encouraging collaboration between groups of companies operating in particular ICT segments, the government of Victoria has providing startup funding for Spatial Victoria.
Financed from the government's $1 million ICT Linkages program, the cluster is intended to increase the state's ability to compete in this sector.
"The companies comprising this new cluster are already working well together, but this funding from the Bracks Government will help them take the step up to the next level," said Tim Holding, Information and Communication Technology Minister. "Working co-operatively in a cluster environment will provide both strength in numbers and credibility in national and international dealings for the Victorian companies involved,"
"This is another niche area in which Victoria can develop its ICT capabilities and compete on the world stage," he added. The Victorian spatial information industry comprises more than 220 businesses with a combined annual turnover in excess of $410 million.
The initial members of the cluster are:
AAM Hatch
CTL
Fugro Spatial Solutions
Geomatic Technologies
Qasco Victoria
Sinclair Knight Merz
Spatial Vision Innovation
Workforce Solutions
The Victorian government is also providing $10,000 sponsorship for the Victorian Spatial Excellence Awards 2007 being held in Melbourne on September 18.
