According to British Consul General Nick McInnes, the launch this week of Hypercat Australia represented an Anglo-Australian collaboration in smart cities and IoT.
Certainly Australia’s Assistant Minister for Digital Transformation and Cities Angus Taylor is open to the idea in drawing on the UK experience in driving his “City Deals” program. And he’s interested in possibly working with the City of Manchester, where the UK government has mandated Hypercat standards for its own ‘city deals’ program.
