Scaling Up: Lessons From The World's Best CEOs and Founders · From The Archive: Art Meets Science - Bruce Buchanan, Rokt CEO and Co-Founder · 8 Oct 2025 podcast

It's a great question.

I I actually think the the competition in Sydney has driven a positive thing, which is we've created this magnet which has attracts great engineers.

Because there is definitely this interesting thing that happens where you've got successful businesses all in the e same ecosystem.

And it's a a little bit of the Silicon Valley thing that's happening in Sydney now, which is

You've got a lot of successful businesses using very modern engineering practices and they can all help each other.

And part of that is talent, when they come into this market, know it's not a single option.

So they can move across lots of different businesses.

The businesses can learn from each other.

So you can actually pick up modern engineering, modern agile development practices, best in class tools, all of those sorts of things are things you can learn from each other.

So it's not I I don't see it as directly competitive, just like Silicon Valley is not it the reason there's so many great businesses in Silicon Valley or come from Silicon Valley, a bunch of positive correlated things that happen when you bring great businesses together, as well as competitive issues on the talent side.

The balance of that

is probably fifty fifty, you know, you're probably competing a bit for talent, you're probably helping each other build talent and those two things happen together.

Also when you get a great group of businesses that have a huge demand for talent, there's a whole industry behind you of universities and training and

immigration policies and stuff that actually start to feed you talent.

So there's a natural response to market need, which is in education or skill sets is is met with lots of different ways.

So I think, you know, net net, I think actually having all those businesses in Sydney is a real positive for us.

Absolutely.

I mean, we could always do more.

I think what they've done on Skilled the Skilled Visa Migration Program more recently has been a positive.

I think, you know, what we're trying to do in our education system is a positive.
