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 electrolyser process to produce green hydrogen from untreated water; an AI chatbot that prompts users to better manage their life and emotions; and a device that saves children with chronic ear infections from surgery.
