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.
After an exceptional six months with us at the ICC, our inspiring founders have now graduated from the Venture Catalyst program. We celebrated with family, friends, and our wider ICC entrepreneurial community with our startups sharing their progress, products, and live pitches. A huge thank you to everyone who attended to show their support.
Congratulations to our startups: RapidBeam, Zharfire, Onnes, OmnigenIQ, TIDI, InnovateAI, ALTDATA, Ardant, SiteSeer, CPG, Lumina Vista and Provider360.

“When we joined the Venture Catalyst program, it just took our name out there and put it into the global domain.”
– Harrison Box, Venture Catalyst Space participant
“Venture Catalyst has been a great entry point for us to get into Australia.
– Migel Tissera, Venture Catalyst Space participant
“Failures and setbacks have taught me much, so learn to fail fast and fail gracefully.

“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.”
– Stephanie Wan, ICC Industry Expert
