About us

The Canberra Innovation Network (CBRIN) is a not-for-profit and launched in November 2014 on the back of a progressive local government and collaboration between Canberra’s world class education and research institutions, who now represent our Foundation Members.

Our mission is to empower entrepreneurs to make an impact and change the world. In doing so, we are strengthening the position of Canberra as a clever, connected, and creative city where entrepreneurs and businesses build on the city’s excellence in research and innovation to create social and economic benefits for all citizens.

We take pride in Canberra’s startup community and our programs are designed to enable budding entrepreneurs and SMEs to build on their ambition and reach their potential. We connect leading experts and mentors with founders and deliver world-class innovation programs uncovering ground-breaking ideas and solving real-world challenges.

We believe that entrepreneurs are everywhere, and our ethos is to help them uncover their potential.
