Your dose of research translation, deep-tech and innovation insights
We're already looking ahead to 2026. With new teams, new partnerships, and fresh opportunities to champion research translation right across the country.
Thank you for being an essential part of this ever-growing community!
ONwards,
Tennille and the ON Team
A huge congratulations to the 20 research teams from Australia's publicly funded research organisations who brought incredible energy and ambition to ON Accelerate Bootcamp.
Across three big days, they took part in 228 meetings with investors, industry leaders and commercialisation experts — pressure-testing their ideas and building the networks that move research into the real world.
This milestone brought together some of Australia's brightest researchers and innovators from across the country:
From this highly competitive round, 12 teams have now been selected to progress into the Immersion stage of ON Accelerate. The standard this year has been exceptional, and every team is leaving Bootcamp with sharper thinking and stronger connections.
Their progress has been incredible to watch, and we're excited for what’s ahead. Stay tuned for the official announcement of our Cohort 10 teams.
This year, ON was proud to play a small but meaningful supporting role as a sponsor of the 2025 Indigenous Australian Datathon — an event that brings together data practitioners, researchers, community leaders and innovators to create solutions that deliver real value for First Nations communities.
Why we want the ON community to know about it
IAD is a powerful example of community-led innovation in action. It reflects many of the principles we champion across ON, and there is so much our network can both learn from and contribute to:
