As a part of Advance Queensland’s partnership with various upcoming Innovation ecosystem events, we often have access to a limited number of delegate and / or exhibitor tickets that we can make available to people in our network who will benefit from and add value to the event.
Attendees who we support must provide compelling innovation business cases and demonstrate that attendance at the event will facilitate the next stage of their enterprise or commercialisation journey, and/or attendance will result in capability building for regions, communities, high potential industry sectors and Queensland overall.
We invite applications from Startup Founders, Innovation Ecosystem Enablers and Regional Innovation Co-ordinators.
Keep an eye on this web page for current and future opportunities to join an Advance Queensland delegation at an opportunity focused innovation event.
