Indian software firm sets up

THE Asia Pacific arm of international software services firm Dhanush InfoTech will call Queensland home, investing $1.5 million in a state of the art facility at Springfield.

Treasurer and Minister for Employment and Economic Development Andrew Fraser said apart from bringing the international ICT industry to Queensland, the Indian firm’s Springfield premises would create more than 200 local jobs.

“This is a coup for Springfield, which has been positioning itself as one of Queensland’s hi-tech hubs of the future,” Mr Fraser said.

“Dhanush plans to become one of the largest information and communication technology employers in the region, and its global reach will be a drawcard for other international firms looking to grow their market in the Asia Pacific.

“It’s becoming increasingly clear that successful overseas firms consider Queensland to be a viable next step when expanding.”
