2017 Northern Inland Innovation Awards Professional & Gov. Services Smart Region Incubator

Smart Region Incubator

The UNE Business School established the Smart Region Incubator in response to the NSW Department of Industry’s 2016 Boosting Business Innovation Program. With bases in Armidale and Tamworth, it is a contemporary approach to start-up support, providing work spaces, connections and expertise in the form of mentors and an Expert-in-Residence. In July 2017, the Smart Region Incubator and stakeholders staged a hackathon style event called Agmentation to solve grassroots agricultural problems. It was a hit and other such innovative events are planned. It is working to make research data from UNE projects more accessible. A beta version of this Data Sharing Community known as ‘banks.community’ [to be read as “banks dot community”] is currently being trialed.

The Incubator currently supports 28 Founders across the region; has held 41 events, with a combined attendance of 738. Importantly, it is engaging students with start-ups.
