About the Event

Cicada x Tech23 is back. Australia's largest deep tech festival is coming to Melbourne and we want to meet you.

Join us on Wednesday 28th February at Jumar Bioincubator, Australia's newest biotech incubator. This is your chance to mingle with fellow founders, innovators, investors, and leaders in Melbourne's deep tech ecosystem.

Be part of the conversation shaping Australia's future as we hear from three visionary founders transforming industries like Climate Tech, Renewable Energies, and Healthcare. Led by Cicada's CEO, Sally-Ann Williams, our panelists aren’t just discussing the future; they're actively building it:

• Liz Williams, CEO and co-founder of Hemideina, who is revolutionising the cochlear implant industry with groundbreaking solutions.
• Charlie McGrill, CEO of ElectraLith, developing a pioneering lithium extraction with the cleanest and most efficient methods.
• Raj Bagri, CEO and founder of Kapture, who is leading the charge in climate tech innovation with a non-toxic solvent for decarbonising global diesel emissions.

We'll imagine a world where hearing impairments are seamlessly overcome, where clean energy is more accessible than ever, and where climate challenges are met with groundbreaking solutions. Join us to glimpse a future where deep tech isn't just a concept, but a tangible, life-changing reality.

This event marks the launch event of Cicada x Tech23 2024, Australia's biggest deep tech festival, set to take place on 7th August in Sydney.

Come and network with the brightest and boldest of Melbourne's deep tech community and join the CxT23 village.
