As Australia’s pre-eminent entrepreneurial university, UNSW focuses on enterprise, partnership, and knowledge exchange, which are central to our 2025 Strategy. The flagship UNSW Founders program, launched in 2017, is Australia’s most comprehensive university entrepreneurship initiative, nurturing over 1,000 startups and training more than 20,000 individuals. UNSW Founders has facilitated substantial external investment in portfolio companies, exceeding $175 million, and creating over 500 jobs. Under the strategic direction of David Burt, UNSW integrates entrepreneurship across its curriculum and research through targeted courses, workshops, and programs. UNSW's leadership in innovation is underscored by its top ranking in the Survey of Commercialisation Outcomes from Public Research (SCOPR) Summary Report. Notable spinouts include Diraq, focused on quantum computing, and Infinity Avionics, the Australian Space Startup of the Year in 2023. These achievements highlight UNSW’s robust support system for entrepreneurs, including funding, mentorship, and networking opportunities. With a strong emphasis on inclusivity and diversity, 47.8% of participants in the UNSW Founders programs were women entrepreneurs in 2023. This holistic approach ensures that entrepreneurial values are instilled across faculty and students, creating substantial positive impacts on various stakeholders and positioning UNSW as a leader in entrepreneurial education and innovation. UNSW’s commitment to fostering innovation and societal impact is further demonstrated by initiatives like the Defence 10x Accelerator and TRaCE programs, which support startups in fields ranging from clean energy to national security.
