25 Years of Cicada

Celebrating Australia's Deep Tech Community

For a quarter of a century, Cicada Innovations has been home to the nation’s boldest innovators and entrepreneurs; the people turning radical science into industries of the future. From medical breakthroughs to climate solutions, we’ve seen tiny teams create mighty impact.

This November, we celebrate 25 years of deep tech with a once-in-a-generation showcase. Across one special day, experience Australia’s past, present, and future of innovation: the people who shaped our story, the founders building today, and the ideas that will define tomorrow.
