🚀 Last call to join the innovation celebration of the year

ON Core Sydney 2023

ON Core 2023 is not one to be missed, so we’ve extended the deadline to register until Thursday 30 November! 🎉

We’ve seen some incredible science through ON, but nothing that cures FOMO.

If you've already registered, your seat isn't officially reserved until you share a few extra details so please remember to follow this step. Behind the scenes, exciting plans are in motion, and we can't wait to share them to you!

If you think you should be on the door list for ON Core, but your diary is still looking… less than blocked out on 7 December… then something’s not right. Receiving the ON Core calendar appointment means we’re looking forward to seeing you there, so follow up today by emailing on@csiro.au.

The stage is set, anticipation is building, and that's not all!

We've been on the move: from SXSW Sydney, to the KCA Annual Conference, to this year’s InnovationAus Awards… this edition is packed with those highlights, plus a roundup of the latest innovatiON news.

The ON Prime program is for the curious researcher, those looking to understand the potential of their research. If you know a researcher or a research team that would benefit from the program, we'd love it if you would help us spread the word!

We were proud to be a Platinum sponsor of the recent 2023 KCA Annual Conference, where experts from around the country came together to discuss best practice industry engagement, commercialisation and entrepreneurship for research organisations. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our coffee cart for a complimentary brew and to chat about our ON program

Renowned industry and cultural festival – SXSW – took over Sydney for the first time ever, with the Conference and Expo showcasing the best of tech and innovation, music, screen, and gaming industries. The SXSW Tech and Innovation Expo featured team ON alongside other CSIRO teams, SME Connect and Company Creation and, together,  we chatted to thousands of start-up folk, inspired venture capitalists, and engaged with students and innovation experts.

At the 2023 InnovationAus Awards for Excellence, we celebrated excellence in research translation. A special shoutout to our ON Program alumni, Genics, for winning the "Translation Hero" award and CSIRO spin-out company v2food, who won the “Food and AgriTech” category.
