The Australian information and communications technology ICT sector is a dynamic industry spanning a diverse array of businesses in areas from computer hardware and software, networking and communications to the Internet, telecommunications, multimedia and more. As technology becomes ever more entrenched in our modern lifestyle, enabling every aspect of commerce, government, education, communications and entertainment, the ICT sector is playing an increasing role in driving economic growth and prosperity, accounting for 4.6 of GDP and 13.8 of total investment in Australia. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics ABS, ICT makes a greater contribution to the economy than agriculture, forestry and fishing, defence and education.
