Canberra Innovation Network

Always be learning! We had a fantastic experience visiting the iAccelerate team at Wollongong today. Huge thanks to Tamantha Stutchbury, John Kerr, and everyone at iAccelerate for your generosity and hospitality. At the Canberra Innovation Network we really love and resonate with what Tam explained about iAccelerate: Purposeful Growth: “Our mission isn’t just about building companies—it’s about building companies that matter, companies that create sustainable, positive impact both locally and globally.” Community and Support: “Our ecosystem is a collaborative space where founders don’t just grow businesses; they find a community that uplifts and inspires them to achieve greater things together.” Diversity and Opportunity: “We’re committed to ensuring that our space welcomes diverse founders. From women entrepreneurs to First Nations founders, everyone has a place in the iAccelerate family.” Regional Innovation with Global Reach: “We may be based in Illawarra, but our startups are tackling global challenges. We want to see our impact resonate far beyond this region.” Entrepreneurial Learning: “We provide tailored support across every stage of growth, from idea to scale. Our programs are here to equip founders with the tools, insights, and resilience they need to succeed.” Real-World Problem Solving: “The companies here are addressing meaningful, complex issues, from sustainable practices to social challenges. They’re not just building businesses; they’re shaping the future.” #AlwaysLearning #InnovationCommunity #Entrepreneurship #regionalcollaboration
