Cicada x Tech23 Online: The Road to Tech23 2026
Wednesday 18 March from 12pm to 1pm
Join us online on Wednesday 18 March for a candid conversation with Tech23 alumni Banksia Minerals Processing, EPCA and Nutromics.
Deep tech is rarely built in easy conditions. Timelines stretch. Markets move cautiously. Validation takes time. Yet founders continue to build.
In this session, the founders behind these three ventures will share what it really takes to move from lab-scale breakthroughs to companies tackling global challenges. From decarbonising mining fleets to reinventing copper refining and transforming clinical diagnostics, each company represents the kind of ambition Tech23 exists to surface.
They’ll talk openly about the realities of building deep tech in Australia, the persistence required to stay in the game, and what has happened since Tech23 to accelerate their progress.
If you’re building serious technology and wondering whether Tech23 could be part of your path, this conversation is for you.
