Mediasphere wins the Inaugural Mincom Award
Premier Peter Beattie has today congratulated Springwood-based information and
communications technology (ICT) company Mediasphere on winning the inaugural Mincom
Connect Award 2007 - Gateway to USA.
Mr Beattie said this up-and-coming Queensland firm would be groomed under the award to take
on the lucrative American software market.
"Again the Smart State is taking on the world, this time through a promising ICT company which
is developing innovative e-learning solutions," Mr Beattie said.
"The prize will be a big career break, offering accommodation at Mincom's Colorado office for
six months, an opportunity to learn from this global giant, and assistance from the Trade
Queensland Office in Los Angeles," he said.
"It's a priceless opportunity to learn from Mincom, which is a Smart State success story.
"I want to commend Mincom for recognising the benefits of investment in research and
development, and growing the Smart State's IT sector. Through this new prize, Mincom is
helping aspiring IT firms follow in its footsteps and take a crack at the highly competitive global
market. "Congratulations to Mediasphere - I wish this company every future success."
Mr Beattie also commended award finalists Vigil Systems and Absolute Data Group.
Mincom chief executive officer Richard Mathews said Mincom had started out as a small ICT
company and was aware of the many challenges faced by smaller ICT organisations in their
efforts to innovate, grow and develop their businesses internationally.
"Through this award, Mincom will leverage its strong presence within the US marketplace to
help Mediasphere take its technology to the world stage," Mr Matthews said.
ICT has been a target industry nurtured under the Queensland Government's Smart State
Strategy.
Today there are more than 77,000 Queenslanders employed in about 5600 ICT businesses,
including Mincom, and the sector generates over $23 billion in sales, including $1.3 billion in
export income.
