Leidos, a global science and technology firm, has increased its investment in Victoria with plans to establish its Software Factory in Melbourne as part of a project that will create up to 100 new, highly skilled tech jobs. Minister for Economic Development Tim Pallas said this will be its first factory outside the United States. The factory will support the company’s growth in Australia, extend its global reach and attract new industry-leading capabilities for software development.
Minister Pallas said the expansion by Leidos is strong validation of Victoria’s thriving tech sector, its skilled workforce and thriving culture of innovation.
