Member & Partner Organisations
Our Board is made up of volunteer industry leaders who are actively building, leading and supporting technology and digital businesses across the Sunshine Coast.
We are more than a networking organisation. We are a community of industry leaders, practitioners and advocates working together to create real outcomes for the region.
Unlike organisations focused on a single sector, technology or profession, we connect the entire digital economy ecosystem. We combine industry insight, thought leadership, workforce development, business growth and regional advocacy to create opportunities that would not exist in isolation.
Our focus is not simply on technology itself, but on the people, businesses and partnerships that technology enables. We measure success by the connections made, collaborations formed, talent developed, businesses strengthened and opportunities created for our region.
The Sunshine Coast Tech Alliance is the gateway to the Sunshine Coast digital economy.
Technology is changing every industry. Whether you build technology, use technology or lead digital transformation, the Sunshine Coast Tech Alliance connects you to the people, ideas and opportunities shaping and protecting the future of the Sunshine Coast.
