Curtinnovation Awards 2026

The Curtinnovation Awards celebrate bold thinkers at Curtin University who are creating real-world impact. Whether you’re a researcher, student or entrepreneur, if you’ve developed an idea that could shape industries, improve lives or solve critical challenges, we want to hear from you.

All ideas are welcome. Previous winners of the Curtinnovation Awards include an evidence-based bio-enhanced native seaweed solution to chronic inflammation; a real-time asset tracking system using existing camera infrastructure; and a breakthrough in synthetic graphite production for lithium-ion batteries.
