List of hackathons in St Lucia, Australia in 2018

Want to help decarbonise our energy systems? Or is your fight the war on waste? Bioenergy may be the magic weapon to both. Bioenergy is the world's primary source of renewable energy and yet opportunities still abound to generate fuel, heat and power from sustainably-sourced organic matter. There are huge possibilities for this sector to change the way that we create, and view, energy.  EnergyLab and Bioenergy Australia have teamed up to run this two-day event to bring people interested in bioenergy innovation together to brainstorm, develop and demonstrate new business concepts. If you're interested in starting a business in bioenergy, come along and join a group of like-minded individuals to explore new ideas and opportunities for startups in this sector, with the opportunity to win some amazing prizes! We'll provide everything you need, including great workspaces, all meals, and plenty of snacks to keep you fuelled! Teams will recieve mentoring from industry, business and tech experts to develop their ideas, business models and pitches. Participants who register by 3 October will receive the Early Bird registration price of $10. EnergyLab is committed to growing new energy businesses that reflect the diversity of the communities they serve. We strive for equality, inclusivity and accessibility, and we encourage all people to participate in this event. If you have any concerns about attending this event, or the ticket price is a barrier to your attendance, please email odette@energylab.org.au.

Waste should be burned to create energy, not buried. Ideas like these ignite the imaginations of Australians dreaming about reducing the impact of our waste, and of creating a circular economy. These ideas can come to life. Waste-to-energy technologies have come a long way in the last decade and public sentiment is Australia is warming to the idea of producing renewable energy from non-recyclable waste. With advancing technology and shifting norms come opportunities for new businesses to be formed. Join us for a discussion on what startups might emerge in the waste-to-energy sector. This is the second event in EnergyLab's two-part event series on startup opportunities in BioFutures, leading to a hackathon to generate BioFutures startup ideas. More information and hackathon registration below.
