Cremorne Digital Hub to nurture Australia ’ s next tech unicorns

Cremorne Digital Hub ’ s Scaleup Program aims to fuel the next level of Australian digital investment and innovation growth .

Australia ’ s ability to nurture fledgling startups has improved significantly with the Victorian startup ecosystem alone jumping from $ 50 billion to $ 91 billion in the last three years .
Yet , support for rapidly scaling companies is well behind other countries such as the US .
Australia ’ s scaleup funding gap is set to reach $ 53 billion by 2030 according to the Tech Council of Australia , plus local scaleups face challenges when it comes to talent , infrastructure and regulation .
Cremorne Digital Hub ( CDH ) is a Victorian Government-backed innovation hub helping to grow the state ’ s digital capabilities and innovation . Its new CDH Scaleup Program is supporting fast-growing local tech companies to supercharge Victoria ’ s track record in building global tech companies , says Partner Engagement & Activation Lead Julie Stevens .
“ We are already great at nurturing earlystage startups but need to make it attractive to find success and build jobs locally rather than watching them fly away ,” Stevens says . “ It ’ s those growing pains around issues like funding , talent and support that can leave scaleups feeling that they have no choice but to look elsewhere .”
Minister for Jobs and Industry , Natalie Hutchins said : ” More and more we are seeing tech companies with roots in Victoria growing to become industry leaders . The Cremorne Digital Hub Scaleup Program will help even more local tech companies to become wellknown global tech brands .”
