The hub was proud to again be a part of this year’s Indigenous Australian Datathon held at the JCU Cairns campus. The datathon brings together a diverse group of data professionals, innovators, indigenous communities and students to explore digital and data-driven solutions to real-world indigenous community challenges in Australia.

Participants worked in teams to address problems using Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and big data technical solutions. Problems included bushfire management, improving diabetes management and improving boating safety in the Torres Strait. The datathon provides the opportunity industry and communities to connect and foster partnerships.
