INNOVIC ^[1], the not-for-profit support organisation for innovative Victorian startups, will be restructured due to lack of government funding.

In recent years, Anthill was a media sponsor of INNOVIC’s Next Big Thing Award ^[2], which has uncovered some wonderful new Australian products. I’ve had the pleasure of judging at these awards and can tell you that the Australian commercialisation scene needs many more advocates like those at INNOVIC with a selfless passion for giving smart, young Australian companies a fighting chance.

We’ll provide more details of the restructure as it takes shape in coming week.
