Connect, Learn and Start
Innovation starts at the coalface, and we recognise that it can happen anywhere — at home, at work, or within the community. Our mission is to support those who seek to challenge the status quo, regardless of who they are or where they live. We are especially committed to encouraging female entrepreneurs, individuals, and businesses with ideas that promote regional development and job creation.
We are a virtual incubator with a vision to ensure that all Australians benefit from the upcoming Western Sydney economic boom. We support individuals, SMEs, corporates, and government agencies in turning their ideas into reality. Through coordinated innovation workshops and mentorship programs, we help startups prepare for accelerator programs, pitch for funding, and apply for government grants. We deliver these services in partnership with universities, accelerators, coworking spaces, and professional service providers.
We support you in articulating your concept and evaluating its viability. We also manage, Bioincubate, a strategically focused incubator dedicated to Life Science innovations.
We help universities accelerate the commercialisation of their IP by identifying real-world problem-solving opportunities through our researcher-to-business match-making plaform.
SiliconWest was founded by Tom Park during his tenure at Deloitte, later expanding through collaborative projects with UNSW that connected academia with industry. SiliconWest’s mission is to leverage university expertise and investment to help shape Australia’s economic future.
Our core panel of advisors serves as your gateway to a powerful network of contacts and untapped resources. With complementary expertise and a shared passion for innovation, they’re ready to guide your startup in the right direction from day one.
