Data Centres: A Cornerstone of Australia's AI Future

How can we analyse Australia's infrastructure, energy, and geographic data to select locations and operational strategies that will position Australia as the Asia-Pacific's leading AI and cloud computing hub?

#Data-centres-for-2050

Eligibility: Open to all. Teams should use at least one government dataset in their solution, with preference for creative combinations across different data types (infrastructure, energy, telecommunications, geographic, climate, economic, or planning data). Proposals should include clear methodologies for data integration, analysis algorithms, and implementation planning with consideration of real-world deployment challenges
