Monash Ecosystem Meetup

Monash Ecosystem Meetup – October 2025

The Monash Ecosystem Meetup is a new quarterly gathering built around the startups, founders, and teams driving innovation across the Monash Technology Precinct.

The idea is simple: bring people together, build connections, and grow a stronger community.

Each quarter, a different ecosystem partner will host (starting with Monash Innovation Labs this October), with the format kept deliberately open and shaped by participants.

Expect brief introductions from each partner community, followed by ample time for conversation, refreshments and tours.

No panels. No keynotes. No gatekeeping. Just a chance to meet others navigating the same challenges of building, scaling, and experimenting.
