Canberra
Congratulations to all who participated in Canberra’s 2018 Smart Seeds program.
Led by industry and building on the success of the 2017 program, a group of bright young professionals came together to generate fresh ideas to tackle complex infrastructure challenges.
Presenting their innovative concepts to senior professionals at a Showcase Event in May, each team demonstrated the potential power of collaboration across organisations, sectors, disciplines and generations.
2018 Challenge Topics
Flying High – How should the ACT region make better use of Canberra Airport to build a diverse and sustainable economy?
Re-thinking Canberra’s Borders – Can we re-imagine the notion of Canberra as being more closely integrated with the existing population centres at its borders?
Tech Enabled Workforce – How do we train (or prepare) Canberran’s for the technology jobs of the future?
Taking the Car out of the Car Park – What happens to Canberra’s carparks and roads when autonomous vehicles become the norm. How do we make Canberra a hub for autonomous vehicles?
