Uniti
"Within a few weeks of moving to Technology Park, the UNITI team experienced the opportunities to network with likeminded companies, sharing similar technological and business experiences together with a real feel for peer support.
Ballarat’s fantastic. Nothing’s more than 10 minutes away. We ride our bikes to work … and can use the (UB) gym or have a swim at lunchtime".

State Revenue Office
"The Ballarat Technology Park provides all the services required to establish a modern, highly productive business with state-of-the-art ICT connectivity. The proximity to the University of Ballarat was also a key attraction from the standpoint of recruiting and training a new and skilled workforce.
In every sense, the Ballarat office has been an outstanding success".

Aviarc Australia
"When looking for a location to set up Aviarc Australia, our decision criteria included:
- easy access to major markets;
- a good local IT skills base;
- a low-risk start-up environment with headroom for growth; and of course
- the cost structure and flexibility to suit a potential high-growth company.
The Park fulfilled over and above on this criteria and rather than just being a passive provider of infrastructure, the Park has provided us with an active growth environment to support our aspirations. We couldn't be happier".

Centre for eCommerce and Communications
"Informal support systems operate quite extensively within the Park, with people sharing technical tips and tricks.
I think it would be very difficult to find an alternate location that would satisfy our needs".

Ballarat ICT Limited
"It made sense to locate our office in the heartland of technology and innovation. The modern facilities and infrastructure are important, however of equal significance is the ability to interact with ‘like minded’ professionals".

"Our skills, experience and client base has expanded providing a positive outlook for the business. I would encourage any business considering relocating to the Park to thoroughly explore the possibilities and benefits".

IBM Australia/New Zealand
"We’ve benefited not just in terms of lowering labour costs through using a partly undergraduate workforce but also in generating an ongoing pipeline of talent for the IBM IT services centre.
We currently employ around 650 people here and over the next few years we expect the IBM IT services centre to expand by around 300 employees, with growth expected in software development, IT consulting services and technical support areas".
