ACU Co-Lab 5 Year Report
Everyone should have a chance to achieve their goals. That’s why we created Co-Lab, a free co-working space and business incubator for everyone and anyone who is working on an innovative start-up or looking to grow their existing business.
Co-Lab is the place to turn your big dream into a reality. Our flexible, inclusive co-working spaces are open to students and the general business community. We’ll support your start-up or small-to-medium enterprise with the technology, educational events, resource sharing and collaboration it needs to get moving.
For us, it’s about you. And your success. We’ve partnered with the NSW Department of Industry to help you connect with the right people, organisations and resources required to make your dreams a reality.
Our co-working spaces in North Sydney and Strathfield have the essentials you need to get your ideas off the ground. You’ll have access to free high-speed wi-fi, meeting spaces, unlimited caffeine and even a 3D printer.
Benefit from more than just a great working space. At Co-Lab, you’ll have access to our resident business advisers as well as opportunities to network and collaborate with our for-profit and not-for-profit partners.
