E25S07 Burl Aerospace

The biggest change in Australia’s tech ecosystem over the last decade has been the rise and rise of ‘deep tech’ – products and services from the frontiers of research. It’s slow, expensive – and world-changing. Burl Aerospace co-founder and CEO Crighton Nichols reckons it’s about time for a revolutionary rethink of air transportation – and Burl’s transformative designs demonstrate of what’s possible in aviation, when you come at it with a clear mind and deep domain knowledge. Getting from prototype to full-scale flying product? Yeah, it’s doable – but it’s not easy. We’re going deep and flying high on THIS WEEK IN STARTUPS AUSTRALIA.

Episode S09E15 Harvest B’s Werner Fuggersberger, Kristi Riordan and Alfred Lo

Plant-based proteins could form as much as fifty-percent of our diets within the next thirty years, so there’s enormous opportunities for ‘foodtech’ startups to redesign global agricultural supply chains around the changing diet of a warming planet. Harvest B‘s founders have a vision – and a mission. Does that spell success?

Episode S09E06 VOW’s George Peppou

George Peppou knew nothing about biotech when he co-founded VOW; he’s now well on his way to vat-growing meats that could feed billions around the world. Is biotech fundamentally different – and how has VOW used the best bits of tech startups to accelerate their growth?

Episode S06E02 – Going Nova with Main Sequence Ventures

Australia has an incredible tradition of innovation – typified by the CSIRO, which gave us WiFi, plastic banknotes, one of the best modern lifestyle diets, and much more besides. The CSIRO is an engine for the nation’s science – but too often science misses the opportunity to commercialise its innovations for the benefits of the innovators – and the nation. 

The new Main Sequence VC fund – backed by CSIRO and the Australian Federal Government – looks to change that by identifying the scientists with the ‘spark’ that would make them great entrepreneurs.  TWISTA sits down with Main Sequence general partner Mike Nicholls for a tour through Australia’s “deep tech” investment landscape – and how it could well lead to a new generation of fundamental breakthroughs!

In a new segment profiling all of Australia’s many incubators and accelerators, we speak to SBE Australia’s Sue Hogan about their E3 program for entrepreneurs.
