Port 1010 represents stage two of Digital Harbour’s technology based community - an incubator hub with a focus on offices for new enterprises in the IT industry.

Port 1010 connects start up companies and small/medium enterprises, right through to large corporations in a collaborative workplace that incorporates the latest digital technologies as well as facilitating one on one interaction. Through the innovative use of ordinary building materials and methods, the project reinvents tried (and tired!) technologies in a creative and unusual way.

The commencement of stage two grounds the precinct in its ongoing rollout which includes substantial commercial development, car parking structures, public concourse and retail and exhibition spaces - demanding vibrant architecture at a range of scales and typologies.

With the commencement of stage 2, Port 1010, Digital Harbour have started on a 20 year journey, bringing together some of Victoria’s and indeed Australia’s greatest minds to work, live and collaborate together within a technology community where ‘research’ is not a dirty word and where the pro-active commercialisation of innovative Australian ideas helps to retain these bright minds at home.
