Townsville’s first high-tech training and testing centre has secured tech-giant Ethan to build a multi-million dollar platform that enables simulation initiatives in science, health, emergency response, defence, and research.
North Queensland Simulation Park said it engaged Ethan Global to create a scalable and Australian sovereign-based supercomputer to resolve complex problems in support of government projects.
Ethan Global executive Antony Flutey said NQ Spark showed their commitment to fostering a high-tech industry in North Queensland, establishing a $32.3M federal government grant to develop a six-hectare site in Townsville.
NQ Spark board chairman Lieutenant General (ret) John Caligari said its success hinged on hosting top-tier simulation technologies powered by Ethan. This new capability will significantly enhance efficiency, productivity, and provide an invaluable resource for local industries, cementing our region’s role as a leader in advanced technology and innovation.
NQ Spark is expected to finalise initial construction mid 2025.,Townsville’s first high-tech training and testing centre has secured tech-giant Ethan to build a multi-million dollar platform that enables simulation initiatives in science, health, emergency response, defence, and research.
