Published: Tuesday, 08 March 2016

Myself and Teleport (with my business partner Alberto Rizzoli appearing on Teleport) got a really awesome page 2-3 spread in The Age. It looks rad! There were two articles on 31 January 2016. "From disruption comes innovation: Melbourne's 10-year forecast" and "What will Melbourne look like in 2026?".
