Final thoughts!
Going by the figures, there is no doubt that Australia’s tech sector has been recording steady growth; however, there are still some barriers to its development and innovation.
For instance, in the US, the tech sector contributes 10.2% to its economy; in the UK, the number is 8.1% and in Australia, the figure is 3.8%. (Source: Consultancy)
This goes to show that Australia tech startups still have room to contribute more to the economic development of the country, at least, to try and catch up with the speed of its global peers.
But until then, the journey so far is applaudable.
