Australia is a naturally creative country. Creative technology provides an opportunity to combine this natural creativity with cutting-edge technology to create efficient, productive and fun solutions and services across a wide range of industries.
The Creative Tech award at the 2022 InnovationAus Awards for Excellence celebrates the intersection between technology and the arts, design, media, entertainment, games and education.
