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.
ActInSpace is back! We're calling on all students, entrepreneurs and developers to solve real world space challenges at the ICC's ActInSpace competition!
It's on November 18 & 19. The winners will become national champions and go on to the international finals in Cannes, France in early 2023.
Co-organised by the French space agency, Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) and the European Space Agency (ESA), ActInSpace is delivered by the ICC with support from the Australian Space Agency, Accenture and other industry sponsors.
On Wednesday October 5, the ICC celebrated our stellar startups of the 2022 Venture Catalyst Space cohort. We also opened applications for our 2023 program! The ICC is tremendously proud of our space graduates. This group is already making huge waves in the commercial space sector.
Applicaitons are still open for our globally recognised space accelerator. We highly encourage entrepreneurs with a commercial space venture (or a startup with solutions and applications for space) to apply now! Applications close this month, November 16.
Founder of Growing with Gratitude, Ash Manual recently spoke with Channel 9's Alice Monfries about his upcoming book. Ash graduated from the ICC's Venture Catalyst Social Enterprise program earlier in the year.
“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.
– Ethan Tan, ICC Industry Expert
“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
