As Victoria’s data centre sector continues to expand, local businesses have a real opportunity to contribute across the supply chain, from construction and power infrastructure through to cooling, cabling and specialist services. Building local content into these projects not only supports Victorian jobs and industry capability but also strengthens the resilience and competitiveness of our economy.
This opportunity was brought into sharp focus during a recent visit to HYDAC Australia, where I saw first-hand the breadth of their operations in Australia and the value they bring to local industry through engineering, manufacturing and systems integration capabilities. Their approach demonstrates the vital role local capability plays in delivering complex projects and highlights the value Victorian businesses can bring to one of our fastest-growing sectors.
I’m delighted that HYDAC will be sharing their experience as a panellist at our Data Centre Capability Connect event next Wednesday 11 November. The event will also feature keynote presentations from AirTrunk, STACK Australia, Metrics Infrastructure and Services, and WoMEDA, offering valuable insights into Victoria’s growing data centre pipeline and the opportunities available to local suppliers.
Whether you're already active in the sector or looking to understand how your business can get involved, this is a rare opportunity to hear directly from project leaders, learn what they are looking for from suppliers, and make meaningful industry connections.
With only a few tickets left, I’d encourage you to register today. I’d love to see you there.
