CAIxMIC Innovation Hackathon

Do you have a good idea? An invention? An innovation?

Would you like confirmation that it is in fact a good idea from the global leaders in innovation analysis?

We are inviting YOU to bring your idea, invention or innovation to our centre! Using the same platform that runs the CNBC IQ100® Index (the world’s top performing Equities Index), and M·CAM’s leading industry technology analyses, we will analyse your idea in real time! We will give you access to the world’s leading corporate, market, and engineering information. With a database of over 88 million innovation disclosures and a map of open source potentiality, we will help you discover and understand the knowable unknowns.

 What does this actually mean for you?

• We can optimise your ideas
• We can optimise your market position
• We can tell you who the players around the globe are in your innovation space, so you know who you should be thinking about, be it as competitors, collaborators or partners
• We can find the lateral opportunities you had never considered

Not only will we help develop your idea, but using M·CAM’s Orthogonal Confidence Factor, we will enable the realisation of the best and highest use of your idea. If you tell us you want to be tyre manufacturer – we might tell you that you are in friction and vibration management. Rather than selling rubber tyres for cars for a few hundred dollars apiece, you could be selling rubber washers for jet aircraft for several thousand dollars apiece. Our systems allow us to go beyond the limits of human imagination and find the most optimised commercial use for any given idea.

This is the basis for the monthly Innovation Hackathon you are invited to. We warmly welcome individuals, groups, small businesses, big businesses – everyone – to come in to the centre and tell us about their ideas. At whatever stage of the ideation process you are in – we will give you the information and analysis to inform your next step.

As you describe your idea to us, we will query our system, showing you graphs of the innovation space, who is in it, who has had similar ideas to you, and the other industries that you hadn’t thought of being in.

The Melbourne Innovation Centre stands ready to incubate all the ideas that are ready and optimised to be commercially realised after this process!

After setting you up in an office or warehouse space, Melbourne Innovation Centre will provide you with mentoring and monitoring to help grow your business, and encourage you to attend popular training and social events, as well as join their inclusive community of entrepreneurs.
