Victoria’s drive to become the number one destination for technology investment in the Asia Pacific has received a major boost with digital last-mile logistics company MeeMeep.com announcing the opening of its new Melbourne office.
Minister for Small Business, Innovation and Trade Philip Dalidakis today officially opened the Queens Road office, which will create up to 30 new jobs.
MeeMeep combines innovative technology and a vast network of couriers on one straight forward platform to offer eCommerce delivery solutions to some of Australia's biggest retailers and small-medium businesses.
The company is just one of a growing list of technology leaders, including Mimecast, GoPro, Zendesk and Slack, which have opened offices or Australian headquarters in Melbourne over the last 12 months.
Victoria’s tech industry now generates more than $34 billion in annual revenue and employs more than 91,300 people across the state, with the numbers primed to grow as the demand for tech skills higher than ever before.
Melbourne alone produces more ICT graduates than any other Australian city and the Andrews Labor Government is making sure we attract the right businesses to Victoria to grow the sector and produce more high-skill jobs for the future.
