Shenzhen & The NT: What might tech driven connections look like?

After four years @ 4/90 Woods St City Rust490 is moving at the end of July, perchance to be reborn elsewhere in Darwin’s fringe CBD. There’s no better way to draw a line in the sand than to share with you some preoccupations arising through Rust490’s journey.

Here is the last of 3 one hour workshops across Thurs 19/7 & Friday 20/7. This is from Rust490's Hacks Series -  What if we could...? Ways we might achieve something. For detailed info on all 3 workshops see Rust490 news&events

At Rust490 we’ve been pondering what Shenzhen and Darwin might have in common.

• What might tech driven opportunities look like between the extraordinary China region on Hong Kong’s doorstep and the differently extraordinary Northern Territory?
• What interests might align?

So let’s open the conversation out. A mini hackathon to start the ball rolling

On the extraordinary Schenzhen side, here's a selection of links to kickstart your thinking:
