Australian tech millionaire Chris Wade has returned to his hometown of Murwillumbah in northern New South Wales.

After building a successful career in the technology industry, he now wants to invest in the regional community where he grew up.

Wade believes small towns can become hubs for innovation, education and new business opportunities.

He plans to support projects that create local jobs and encourage young people to stay and build their futures locally.

Community leaders say his vision could help boost the local economy and attract fresh investment to the region.

Wade says success is about more than business, adding that giving back to his hometown is now his greatest priority.

His story is being seen as an inspiring example of using success to strengthen regional Australia.
