STARTUP Weekend Brisbane brought great ideas to life – ranging from blockchain tracking of beef and equine data management systems to gamification of health systems and drone imaging technologies – at River City Labs last weekend.

Incubators River City Labs and Fishburners Brisbane joined forces for the weekend staging one of Australia’s largest business ‘startup’ events. Both organisations worked together to bring together industry mentors, business experts, judges and attendees bursting with ideas to execute into a potential business within 54 hours.

INNOVATIVE business founders wanting to participate in the Female Founders Mission to London, are being called to finalise their applications. 

Organiser Startup Catalyst is taking final registrations for the mission, which connects Australian female entrepreneurs, investors, corporate innovation leaders, and policy decision makers with UK female counterparts and start-up community leaders, as well as potential partners, investors and customers.

AFTER months of organisation, interviewing and testing, River City Labs is kicking off its third RCL Accelerator – known as BNE3 – powered by muru-D.  

“We had so many solid applications. It was hard to narrow down but we've locked in 10 teams for this cohort,” River City Labs CEO Peta Ellis said.
