“Innovation Cluster's CONNECT program helped build my own capabilities and off the back of the program Ciphertel secured a $3mil government contract to deliver a high speed digital farm network in Esperance region.”

“A simple thank you for the AWESOME business program experience. I will admit, stepping forward for things like this is always done with some trepidation. My main fear was that it would have been a waste of my already "time poor" existence. I can safely say it has been the exact opposite. The people, the support, the knowledge, the experiences - have all super charged my business in a rapid few months. It is a priceless gift to feel I can ask for help from people whose opinion, knowledge and track records demonstrate their abilities. Innovation Cluster is making a real difference.”

"Innovation Cluster's HARVEST program delivered excellence in terms of its structure and delivery, and was led by knowledgeable and professional people. The main benefits were how to generate and deliver a succinct and relevant pitch to investors; business planning and financial management skills; and the networking. We were given the resources to develop a clear vision and pathway forward for the business, and to formalise and document this."

"The Future Founders program was so incredible and really pushed me to turn my idea into reality. By the end of the program my core business idea had stayed consistent, however, I was able to re-structure it in a way that would enable growth. The process of mentor selection was absolutely spot on and allowed me to create a structurally sound business plan and have the opportunity to be put in touch with possible business partners."

"It's been fantastic to join in with other businesses from around WA to showcase the great innovation and energy that exists to grow WA's economy and connections. Programs like CONNECT are critical to building local networks and businesses in our vast state and across the distances we face between regional communities and global markets."
