Regional communities thrive when they connect ideas, resources, and opportunities. Hack The Triangle is a structured framework designed to spark innovation, build community capacity, and drive local economic growth.
This initiative fosters new ideas from within the community while adopting valuable external ideas that fit local needs. It’s designed to create networks between towns, encouraging knowledge-sharing, skill development, and collaboration across Australia and globally.
How It Works
Hack The Triangle is built on three key pillars:
- Community – Developing local ideas, talent, and opportunities.
- Assets – Leveraging local strengths and resources for growth.
- Connecting – Exchanging knowledge, capital, and projects across communities.
Through structured rules and gamification, the framework provides clear guidance for individuals and organizations to participate in building innovation hubs in their own communities.
What It Takes to Start a Local Hack The Triangle
To establish a Hack The Triangle hub in a regional town, three essential elements are required:
- A supporting organization to coordinate efforts.
- An engaged community to drive projects and participation.
- Funding to support initiatives, create wealth, and attract grants.
Why It Matters
Growing up in a regional area gives young people a unique perspective — one that, when combined with entrepreneurship, digital skills, and innovation, creates new opportunities for thriving communities.
Hack The Triangle empowers both young people and the broader community to build an aspirational future together.
Building a Network of Innovation
Every regional town has unique strengths and assets. Connecting these strengths through structured projects grows social networks, skills, and economic opportunities. Hack The Triangle is inspired by the open-source technology movement, using project-based learning and digital tools to make participation engaging and impactful.
Gamified Innovation for Real Change
Hack The Triangle is a gamified framework that scales and expands across towns and regions. Gamification helps structure participation with clear rules and goals, making it easier for people to engage and achieve meaningful results.
The ‘hacking’ mindset encourages communities to rethink systems, ideas, and projects, improving and adapting them for better outcomes. The ‘Triangle’ approach ensures that every hub builds scale, innovation, and lasting connections.
