Intel is proud to sponsor the Homegrown category at the 2017 ARN ICT Industry Awards. At Intel, we believe local businesses can change the world. We love to help our local partners turn their big ideas into bigger opportunities.

Intel has a strong presence in the Australian market because of the leaps and bounds in innovation that are regularly made locally which impact the global industry.

Intel is excited by the possibilities of newer technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G. While we’ve long been known as the company that puts chips inside PCs, we’re now working with and supporting partners that are pushing new boundaries.

These are the businesses that we can grow in parallel with and build portfolios together. There’s a mass of innovation coming out of Australia that is affecting the global market. Intel’s focus here is on helping local solution-driven companies expand their visions, and gain an international voice.

We find that a lot of the channel – especially those in the Homegrown category – are already using Intel products in one form or another. It is important for us to show our support for the channel’s changing needs, and introduce our latest and greatest technologies as they come about.
