Capital Coast: Queensland Deep Tech Investment Summit

Queensland's investor-first, capital-attraction platform, connecting venture capital with regional most promising technology founders.

About the event

Capital Coast is a one-day deep tech investment summit hosted by Collider, UniSC Innovation and proudly funded by the Queensland Government through the Innovation Events Fund. Unlike a traditional startup event, we bring interstate and international investors directly to regional Queensland, convening a curated cohort of investment-ready ventures alongside 20+ confirmed investors for a day of structured capital introductions, a capability showcase and live pitching. Set on the subtropical Sunshine Coast, it positions the region as a nationally significant destination for deep tech investment.
