ABOUT CREMORNE DIGITAL HUB

EMPOWERING INNOVATION AND GROWTH FOR A BETTER FUTURE

Backed by Government, Venture Capital, the education sector and some of Australia's biggest digital businesses, Cremorne Digital Hub is driving the transformation of the Victorian innovation ecosystem as a leading, world-class tech precinct.

We put industry sponsored challenges at the front and centre of everything


 

We prioritise solutions with strong market potential led by commercially savvy founders

 

We do the heavy lifting for innovation programs, helping industry get to the end point with unmatched efficiency

We use the power of network innovation to solve real-world challenges

 

We're here for big thinkers 

Cremorne Digital Hub take the struggle out of great innovation practice. We know that the mandate to innovate is often at odds with insecurity about the outcomes, the time involved to generate a good opportunity pipeline, and the conflicts that everyday operations can place on the focus great innovation practice demands. 

We fix these issues. 

With an exceptional network of innovators and collaborators spanning venture capital, the startup community and world class education providers, Cremorne Digital Hub can turn big thinking into real-world solutions. 

Outsourcing your innovation function through Cremorne Digital Hub can open a world of new opportunities.

 

Doing together what can't be done alone...

Scale-up Founders

There are others who help early stage Founders. Cremorne Digital Hub focus our collaborative ecosystem resources on helping ventures that already have some traction and revenue to really hit their strides. We unlock our extensive partner resources to make that happen for the Founders we believe in and the business they're behind. 

Capability building

Talented people deserve support. Technological revolution requires an exceptional innovators mindset to take root and grow. Commercial acumen, coupled with drive and vision. That's what we look for.

If you're driving innovation with a vision for commercial success, we want to hear from you.

Global Partnerships

We believe in the power of partnerships, teamwork, and diverse perspectives to drive impactful innovation. We work both here and abroad to foster cross collaboration with international innovators, to attract scaling ventures setting up shop in Cremorne and across Victoria, and to help our own scaling ventures to grow into international markets.

 

CORPORATE VENTURERS

Every company has an innovation agenda, but getting value from internal venturing is full of difficulties. It's expensive, slow and has a high failure rate.

Cremorne Digital Hub can help make that easier. Think of us like 'venture capital as a service'. With our partner Artesian, Australia's most active Venture Capital firm, we can take a huge part of that burden on for you, at a much lower cost to doing it yourself.
