<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tech23 2015 will bring together the ecosystem – investors, entrepreneurs and innovators from across Australian enterprise, government and industry sectors. It will showcase 23 world-class startups with high growth potential, technical expertise who are tackling big problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tech23 2015 will accelerate partnership opportunities between the people and organisations that matter. Tech23 has had the good fortune to be involved with some wonderful people and great companies early on in their journeys such as Marita Cheng<\/strong>, who is working on a robotic arm with the support of the Melbourne Accelerator Program at the University of Melbourne; Dr Dror Ben Naim<\/strong> whose research at UNSW resulted in the development of Smart Sparrow’s adaptive eLearning platform, and CSIRO’s BuildingIQ technology which was recognised by Mike Zimmerman<\/strong> for its potential to optimise energy use in commercial buildings. All these companies, plus so many others epitomise what Tech23 celebrates – Australian innovation!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
