The Incubator team is comprised of passionate, experienced and engaged professionals, aiming to build a supportive innovation ecosystem and community that encourages collaboration and fosters commercialisation. The Incubator is made possible by funding from the NSW Department of Industry, Skills and Regional Development through the Boosting Business Innovation Program.
