CORE Start 2026 - Ideas Night

CORE Start Ideas Night 2026

What happens when a group of ambitious founders gets in front of the people who know the energy and resources sector best?

Come along to CORE Start Ideas Night and find out. Our 2026 CORE Start cohort will pitch their ventures live to a panel of industry leaders, who will give them frank, practical feedback to sharpen their thinking and help them move their ideas forward.

CORE Start is our 12 week entrepreneurial development program for founders building solutions for energy and resources. This year's cohort is our biggest yet, bringing twice as many founders and a wide range of ideas from across the sector.

Ideas Night is a chance to:

• See early-stage ventures before anyone else does

• Hear how experienced leaders assess new ideas, and what they look for

• Back local founders and share your own insights with them

• Connect with innovators, investors and industry people over drinks afterwards

Whether you work in industry, invest in early-stage companies, or just love seeing new ideas come to life, we'd love to have you in the room.
