Creating a transdisciplinary innovation hub

We’re committed to making space for the big thinkers, problem-solvers and bio-innovators.

  • Colabs provides a nurturing and supportive co-working environment that fosters collaboration, innovation, and impact-driven research and development. We have cultivated a diverse and inclusive community of innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, and educators who are dedicated to creating positive change and are advocating for policies and practices that support the growth of a bio-based economy, life science sector, and sustainable innovation ecosystem in Australia.

  • Beyond the bench we aim to develop and deliver transformational educational programs and initiatives that build the necessary skills, knowledge, and awareness to drive systemic change and create a sustainable future. Like a keystone species in an ecosystem, our social enterprise aims to do well by doing good – sharing resources, knowledge, and expertise within our community and wider ecosystem, creating synergies and accelerating the impact of our collective efforts.
