Hot Desq

Published: Saturday, 28 October 2017

My company, aubot, was recently invited to go to Queensland for 6 months, as part of Advance Queensland's Hot Desq program, to inspire local entrepreneurs, and to grow our business.

Here I am via Teleport in Melbourne, talking about how excited we are to be going to Queensland and working with QUT's Bluebox at the Foundry.

Here's a Medium article on an interview I did with Advance Queensland talking about the company's move for 6 months.

And here I am, arriving in Brisbane with some Teleport components for the team to work with.
