More than 1,000 technology leaders, researchers and innovators gathered last week for NVIDIA AI Day Sydney, where experts spoke on the rise of sovereign AI and the technologies driving the next frontier of AI.
The event featured 16 breakout sessions focused on emerging areas such as agentic and physical AI, robotics and AI factories.
“It was a privilege to join NVIDIA AI Day Sydney and hear how the next generation of compute is driving AI. It’s phenomenal to have NVIDIA helping build out Australia’s AI ecosystem through infrastructure, partnerships and innovation,” said Brendan Hopper, Chief Information Officer of Technology at Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
“AI Day Sydney highlighted how quantum and high-performance computing, empowered by AI, are redefining the pace and precision of scientific discovery,” said Giuseppe M J Barca, Co-founder and Head of Research at QDX Technologies, and a professor at Monash University and Australian National University.

In attendance were NVIDIA partners including Canva, Firmus Technologies, ResetData, and Sharon AI, who are driving in the next industrial revolution fuelled by AI.
“Canva is on a mission to empower everyone in the world to design anything and publish anywhere. We make extensive use of NVIDIA technologies to train, fine-tune and serve AI features to millions of users,” said Paul Thompson, Senior Director of Engineering for generative AI at Canva.
