Since 2015, the Innovation & Collaboration Centre has supported early-stage startups through providing workspace, mentoring and funding. Read more about our staff and our startups.

The Innovation & Collaboration Centre is home to Venture Catalyst and the state's first space incubator program Venture Catalyst Space. These programs are designed to help founders start their business.

The ICC holds regular feature events on a range of cutting-edge topics for the ICC community and the public, community events for ICC startups, industry experts and other close partners and affiliates, and internal events exclusively for ICC startups.

trizlabz

Formed in India, trizlabz was born from a collective drive to revolutionise autonomous navigation and space exploration. The company’s inception was fuelled by recognising the critical shortcomings in current space mapping capabilities, particularly in the aftermath of recent lunar landing failures. The founding engineers united to address these challenges, possessing diverse backgrounds in software development, embedded systems, control systems, and engineering. They envisioned a novel, distributed mapping system that could provide real-time, high-resolution data, overcoming the limitations of existing solutions. This shared vision and expertise laid the groundwork for this innovative approach.

 
  • Rovers work together to build detailed maps and stay accurately positioned in remote areas
  • Ground and satellite data work in sync to support more effective planning and exploration
  • Real-time insights improve monitoring, support decisions, and boost mission safety
  • Smart systems boost ISR, helping rovers navigate and adapt to changing ground conditions.

The technology combines autonomous rovers with satellite insights to create real-time, high-resolution 3D maps of planetary surfaces. This system enables safer landings, efficient mission planning, and accurate resource discovery, making space exploration smarter, faster, and more cost-effective. What makes the trizlabz solution unique is its distributed, collaborative mapping capability powered by inter-rover communication and satellite support, along with our patented traction and suspension mechanism. This allows the all-terrain autonomous robots to navigate harsh, uneven environments reliably supporting exploration on the Moon, Mars, asteroids and beyond.

Trizlabz aim to operate in the space sector, serving agencies involved in exploration, ISR, lunar and asteroid missions. The technology also has strong potential for Earth-based markets, including disaster response, mining, agriculture and environmental monitoring. By adapting the system they can support emergency services, industrial safety, and infrastructure inspection.

Trizlabz are seeking strategic partnerships with organisations in satellite communication, remote sensing, and space-grade hardware to enhance autonomous mapping technology. They are also looking to collaborate with partners in embedded systems, edge computing, and IP management. Additionally, they are open to opportunities in market research, business development and project management to accelerate their growth and funding efforts.
