Innovation Series Partners

Innovation Series is an initiative of Zernike Australia in conjunction with our partner The Australian Institute for Commercialisation, Brisbane Technology Park and our corporate sponsors, many of whom have supported the series since it was established in Brisbane five years ago.

Zernike Australia Pty Ltd is a subsidiary of the worldwide Dutch based Zernike Group BV. In Australia, Zernike is represented by its entities Zernike Australia Pty Ltd (technology parks and related value adding services), Zernike Ventures Australia Pty Ltd (Venture Capital and Fund Management) and EiR Pty Ltd (Incubating services), with offices in Perth and Brisbane.

In addition to the management of Technology Parks, Zernike specialises in the commercialisation of technology including the management of (seed) capital funds. Driven by the exciting opportunities which both product innovation, and the development of new technologies represent, Zernike offers a wide range of services to bring Technology, Markets and Funding together in one compelling proposition.

Not only has Zernike Australia have outstanding relationships with Australian and International Universities, but also with local and international Capital Providers and Business Angels. Zernike is a major shareholder of a number of incubating companies and associated programs.

Zernike has an holistic, open and entrepreneurial culture. We embrace new views and paradigms. Doing business with Zernike means, having access to a worldwide network of technology parks, companies, funds and universities. In other words: Access to Markets, Access to Funds and Access to Knowledge.
