SUMMARY:Cicada x Tech23 Online: The Road to Tech23 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join Cicada Innovations online on Wednesday\, 18 March for a candid look at the grit\, determination\, and persistence it takes to build a deep tech venture in Australia today. \nFor 25 years\, Cicada Innovations has been the home for deep tech\, and Tech23 has been the launchpad for Australia’s most ambitious companies—like Morse Micro\, Samsara Eco\, and Q-CTRL. These are startups not just pioneering technology\, but securing major investment and reshaping global industries. \nBut deep tech is never built in easy conditions. Right now\, the pressure is unmistakable. Tech23: Search the Nation is a call to the founders who are still building with intent and at scale\, despite the headwinds. We are looking for those aiming to create companies that endure—even when support wavers and the odds are steep. \nThis webinar is your gateway to the 2026 cohort. Hear from visionary alumni founders on what it really takes to transition from lab-scale breakthroughs to global impact\, and learn how you can stand on deep tech’s biggest stage this September.
