As the biggest deep tech event in the country, Cicada x Tech23 is more than just a showcase—it’s a movement. A movement to champion 23 visionary founders, connect them with the right people, and accelerate their journey from lab to market, from startup to scale.
Australia’s best deep tech startups have stood on the Tech23 stage before going on to reshape industries. Companies like Morse Micro, Samsara Eco, Q-CTRL, and ULUU. These companies have gone on to secure funding, scale their technology, and make an impact on a global stage.
Our incubator residents have access to custom labs and offices, specialist equipment, training and a thriving community.
