FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 29 November 2002
The
Honourable Mr Jon Stanhope MLA will inaugurate Canberra’s
up and coming technology business centre—Canberra Technology
Park on Tuesday, 26 November 2002 at 10 am.
Canberra Technology Park is a dedicated business park aimed at
information technology and communication organizations and is a
business division of the Academy of Interactive Entertainment, Canberra’s
leading 3D computer animation training organisation. The primary
goal of the Park is to encourage the hubbing of ICT businesses,
particularly those related to 3D computer animation, multimedia,
programming, on-line training and applications and software development.
The Park creates a technology and business environment for businesses
to support each other and to take advantage of the expertise and
services available internally.
Canberra Technology Park General Manager, Mr Tony Wein said, “The
Park is an enjoyable place to work in. The people are friendly,
the location is ideal and the atmosphere is a hive of activity.”
“Based on a student population of 185, there is a strong culture
of youth and enthusiasm which we intend to take advantage of by
both attracting and assisting small businesses based on 3D animation
and related activities to develop and to add to Canberra’s
ITC business base” Mr Wein added.
Currently,
Canberra Technology Park is home to a diverse range of tenants including:
- national game developer–Micro Forte;
- leading game education and training organisation–Academy
of Interactive Entertainment;
- software developers and trainers–dotNET solutions and
many more.
Existing CTP tenant, Mr John Pawlowski, CEO of dotNET said “We
had been looking for an office in Canberra for a few months when
someone referred us to CTP. We are a small but growing IT business
so we thought that being surrounded by other IT companies would
complement us.”
The Park is currently seeking more tenants to create
the ultimate business centre and encourages visitors to find out
