Some of the best and brightest entrepreneurs from NSW have presented their most innovative ideas as part of an event aimed at boosting the next generation of problem solvers.
Minister for Jobs, Investment and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the Tech23 Festival was an opportunity for 23 deep tech entrepreneurs from across Australia to show their work to a global audience of investors, innovators and industry leaders as the 2020 showcase went online for the first time.
“The NSW Government is proud to support Tech23; the event is all about young companies solving big problems with tech, in areas such as energy, healthcare, security and food supply chains,” Mr Ayres said.
“It’s great that 12 of the 23 entrepreneurs are from NSW. The innovation from these startups and scaleups could shape our future and be among the big success stories of tomorrow.
“Encouraging innovation in NSW and creating the jobs of the future is so important. The NSW Government is committed to this, demonstrated by the establishment of the Western Sydney Startup Hub, while at Tech Central we push ahead with our long-term goal to create 25,000 innovation jobs.
“These spaces are designed to attract the best minds and foster innovation as we build a better NSW.”
A video from each of the 23 companies is now online.
