Victoria’s independent $60 million innovation fund has dished out $6.5 million in grants to 18 projects aiming to make the state the “destination of choice for startups worldwide”.
The recipients of the first round of LaunchVic grants were announced on Monday morning by Victorian minister for innovation Philip Dalidakis and the body’s chairman Ahmed Fahour.
The winning projects range from “small ideas” like a leadership program for the next generation of female entrepreneurs in the state to bigger ones like the establishment of a new “world-class tech and startup destination” at Abbotsford Convent.
