Programs
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.
It has been an exciting month at the ICC as we welcome the newest cohort of the Venture Catalyst program.
This week, 11 innovative startups have begun their 6-month journey with the ICC. From new space technology and sustainable fashion solutions to slowing the aging process, they have ambitious goals and are ready to take action.
It is always an exciting time seeing new faces in the community and we cannot wait to see what these new startups bring to it.
Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of hosting VC Space alum Paladin Space Demo Day. At this exclusive event, CEO and Founder, Harrison Box, demonstrated the world’s first space payload capable of capturing debris from multiple targets and storing it on satellites for recycling, reducing the cost of space debris removal and making the process more sustainable. South Australian Treasurer and Minister for Defence and Space Industries Stephen Mullighan even had the opportunity to try out this innovative technology before the presentation.
Founder of Taste Studios, Ricky Chau has been recognised as a finalist in the InDaily 40 Under 40 Awards. Congratulations Ricky!
We are also are proud to share that AICRAFT has been awarded Silver in the Top 50 Manufacturers at the @AuManufacturing news and media Awards 2025! This recognition is a testament to founder Tony Scoleri and the team’s dedication to innovation, quality, and building world-class advanced manufacturing capabilities right here in South Australia.
There are exciting times ahead for the five new space companies starting the Australian Centre for Business Growth 2025 Space Growth Ramp program 🚀
This program is a great next step for space companies looking to continue their growth journey beyond the ICC's Venture Catalyst Space program. It is great to see Kelly Yeoh, Blue Dwarf Space and Harrison Box, Paladin Space as part of this cohort.

“Expertise informs what should be done; experience guides how to get it done. Access to both will accelerate your start-up’s journey."
– Nigel O'Neill, ICC Industry Expert
“Grow your network. It’s about who you know and a global mindset. Just because it may be new or not work out locally, doesn’t mean it hasn't already been conceived elsewhere - there could be opportunities to find new connections and collaborate.”
