AI company Trellis Data has announced its latest expansion with the opening of a new office in Adelaide, South Australia, in an aim to deliver sovereign AI solutions to the Australian government and defence clients.
Trellis Data states that they address some of the important concerns that exist when adopting new AI technologies, by specialising in secure, disconnected AI applications that seamlessly integrate with existing business systems.
“We've spoken to many CEOs and continue to hear the same thing: that integrating sensitive data is of the utmost importance," said Mark Ryan, newly appointed Vice President of Trellis Data, and a retired Australian Air Force wing commander.
"There are many agencies looking to leverage the latest AI technologies, but they want to ensure they maintain control of their data and don't see it go abroad. Australian businesses must fiercely protect their intellectual property and Trellis Data is at the forefront of providing industry-leading, secure AI solutions.”
The new LOT 14 precinct has been earmarked as a possible future home and comes with plans to grow the current team by 300 to 500 experienced professionals over the next five years. The move is reportedly expected to inject an additional $100 million into the South Australian economy and boost its emerging tech industry.
Trellis Data deploys a range of AI technologies, including generative AI, transcription, translation, and computer vision, designed to create efficiencies that save time and reduce costs.
“We know the government is looking for local solutions that meet their changing needs and Trellis Data is ideally positioned to help. Crucially, investing in a local partner will yield huge returns in the future, upskilling local talent and developing an AI sector that can play a leading role on the global stage. We are very excited about the future of this new office, continuing to advance the AI industry locally and contributing to the local South Australian economy and tech community,” said Ryan.
