A freshly inked scientific partnership is developing AI computing power and technology to meet demand from Bay of Plenty-based scientists for faster processing of complex research data. The initiative, a marriage between the needs of PlantTech Research Institute in Tauranga and the expertise of New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI), is accelerating innovative research, starting in the agritech sector.
It will remove computer processing bottlenecks that limit the ability for data scientists to train artificial intelligence (AI) models that learn from high volumes of complex and tightly coupled data. It will also dramatically reduce the turnaround times for AI research.

According to Urban Taskforce, DPIE Housing Demand forecasts are based on the Greater Sydney Commission’s (GSC) 2016 numbers – which found that the number of new homes in Greater Sydney needed to be 725,000 (36,000 per year) between 2016-2036 to meet demand.

A high street is one of the worldâs great joys. Not all cities have them. Some, like Canberra, have only roads and motorways. Sydney, which inherited this lovely urban meme from old London, has some of the finest. Yet, it seems, weâre intent on destroying them. Stranger still, the greatest threat to one of our oldest and most important high streets is the very device that was meant to save it.
