2018 a watershed year for Australian technology

I recently caught up with a number of investors in Silicon Valley where we compared notes on trending technologies. Looking at Right Click Capital’s 2017 Internet DealBook Report — which details publicly announced investments in and acquisitions of technology companies — we tracked 219 Australian deals from public sources: an 83 per cent increase from 2016. And while the second half of 2018 is yet to unfold, it’s already shaping up to be a watershed year for the Australian technology landscape, likely to surpass last year’s high-water mark for technology investment and acquisition deals.
