Tech Society

Join Mark Stickells, Executive Director of the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre as he takes Alex and John from Ninja Software on an eye opening journey into Western Australia’s supercomputing capability.

Hear about Pawsey’s contribution to research projects in WA and around the world, including handling data for the Square Kilometre Array, a large-scale radio telescope project across Australia and South Africa.

Mark also talks about the relationship between supercomputing and technology, the need for the continued investment in science and how a non-tech person brings incredible value to a very technical role.

Data science jobs show almost unlimited growth in the future. Mark’s advice to parents and schools?

“Start earlier than Uni - learn how to understand data”

Ninja Software CEO Alex Dunmow and CTO John Nguyen find common ground with Greg Raiz, a tech angel investor for the people.

Greg believes in giving back to the tech entrepreneurship community and is always interested in discussing design, technology, and innovation. From helping out Redditors with advice on starting a business, discovering their markets, or running a YouTube channel that gives free advice to startups, Greg is extremely active in the space.

We explore the implications of the GME short squeeze, common myths for entrepreneurs, book recommendations, life as an angel investor, and what it takes to succeed as a tech startup.

Greg had a lot to share, and we at Tech Society look forward to speaking to him again in the future.

In a world of uncertainty, Western Australia has undoubtedly led the way for our country involving COVID response, recovery and resilience.

The unexpected windfall is most exciting!

World-level elites in their field are returning to our coasts in droves, bringing their experience, skill sets and investment opportunities back to Perth.

Our eyes are opened to the importance of local produce and industry. Keen investors looking to the future have seen that supporting and building our own Australian tech businesses is the only way we’ll be free of ‘paying rent’ to the overseas software market.

Join John and Alex from Ninja Software as they welcome back Mark Pownall (Director of Strategy and Innovation from Business News) to clearly articulate our strong position in the market.

What could be coming for 2021?

What can we do to ensure strength and prosperity for our state moving into this new fractured economy?
