Ventures we've supported

Since 2016, we have supported over 500 students from all faculties across campus and the launch of 70 startup companies. Learn about Innovation Centre alumni.

The Innovation Centre is beyond just a resource; it's a community of like-minded individuals who are all working towards pursuing their passions and uplifting each other. The knowledge of the individuals at the Innovation Centre and the connections they provide are invaluable.

I have learned so much about entrepreneurship, funding, networking and about the business I am growing through the different competitions and connections. We are about to take on a very large retailer contract in the next year and I will be using the Innovation Centre's connections and support to help with this."
