https://twistartupsaus.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/logo_v3.png12001200After a bit of a pause, THIS WEEK IN STARTUPS AUSTRALIA returns with its annual preview of Spark Festival - sparkfestival.co - with Spark Festival board member and TWISTA 'guardian angel' Murray Hurps, and communications director Paul Wallbank. We go through the festival, then pivot to an examination of the state of the startup community, following the closure of the York Street startup hub - and celebrate the new UTS Startups co-working space!
