Supporting digital capability and innovation in the Cremorne precinct

The Victorian Government is supporting the establishment of a digital hub to drive the growth of Victoria’s tech sector and ecosystem and develop and position the Cremorne precinct as a top global destination for innovation and technology.

The Cremorne Digital Hub brings together industry, universities and investors to enhance collaboration, accelerate research and skills development, build capacity and increase productivity in the precinct.

The Hub will be led by an industry-consortium of founding partners including Artesian Venture Partners, the University of Melbourne, RMIT University and La Trobe University.

Board appointments for the consortium and industry partners are expected to be announced in late 2022.

Growing talent and skills

The Hub will support talent and skills development through a range of programs including training and cadetships, vocational education events, and open innovation and education events.

Driving innovation and the digital economy

Entrepreneurial and commercialisation programming will be provided to grow business opportunities.

The Hub will build tech capability and drive innovation and digital transformation through industry partner project opportunities. It will also deliver co-innovation cohort programs and insights workshops.

Cremorne’s growth is further supported by key investments from the Victorian Government including:
