Hobart: clean energy meets a growing digital community

Tasmania is Australia's smallest state by population, but its high proportion of renewable energy and growing tech community make it an interesting market. Hobart's startup scene has expanded in recent years and crypto interest among younger demographics is consistent with national trends. The state's clean energy surplus has attracted attention from cryptocurrency mining operators looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
