Tech Central, Sydney’s version of Silicon Valley near Surry Hills, has secured three major tenants for The Quantum Terminal, dubbed as the precinct’s “first centralised collaboration space for researchers, developers, engineers, and entrepreneurs.”



Q-Ctrl, Quantum Brilliance, and the Sydney Quantum Academy are set to move into the world-class technology precinct, spanning 3,00 square metres of space of the former Central Station, which is expected to put NSW on the map as a global leader in innovation.

Q-Ctrl grabbed the headlines early this year for its development of a new computing process that reduces the errors from environmental “noise.” 

Quantum Brilliance is the leader in diamond quantum science research and one of a handful of companies around the world that can deliver quantum computing systems for clients.

Sydney Quantum Academy is a partnership involving four famous institutions: Macquarie University, UNSW Sydney, the University of Sydney, and the University of Technology Sydney.

“We are proud to be key partners of The Quantum Terminal and Tech Central and look forward to working closely with the NSW Government and key partners to bring this exciting, world-class innovation and technology precinct to life,” said Professor Mark Scott, Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Sydney.

“We’ll be sharing the lessons we’ve learnt through our deep experience developing ground-breaking multi-disciplinary research, fostering innovation and supporting the commercialisation of successful start-ups.

“We strongly support the Government’s transport vision for the precinct as an activated, walkable and integrated innovation district where residents, visitors and workers can interact and linger in great places and public spaces.”



The NSW Government has invested in helping tenants of The Quantum Terminal. Beginning December 2021, startups and businesses may apply for rebates on rents and fit-outs for up to $600,000 a year.

Divided within six Sydney neighbourhoods, including Surry Hills, Tech Central covers a total of 250,000-square metres of space that has been projected to create up to 25,000 new jobs once it’s completed. Premier Dominic Perrottet said that the hub will place NSW in a “pole position” as a global leader when it comes to technology. 

Apart from The Quantum Terminal, Tech Central will also open the Tech Central Scaleup Hub, which will be Stone & Chalk’s second site in Sydney, as well as the Atlassian headquarters, which will begin construction in the first half of 2022.
