UNSW Sydney and Horizons Ventures invite media to attend the Techcracker Lab showcase, a free event on Friday 14 November at UNSW’s Kensington campus.
The showcase will highlight breakthrough technologies and the visionary founders behind them, featuring live demonstrations from leading med-tech start-ups from Australia and abroad, including US-based HistoSonics, which will demonstrate its new FDA-approved histotripsy technology, a non-invasive therapy that destroys tumour tissue using pulsed sound waves.
Solina Chau, co-founder of Hong Kong-based venture capital firm Horizons Ventures and Director of the Li Ka Shing Foundation, will appear at the event alongside UNSW Chancellor David Gonski AC. The program will be hosted by Professor Bronwyn Fox AO, UNSW Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research & Enterprise).
Speakers from Horizons Ventures' portfolio companies, including Harrison.ai, MEandMINE, Holoclara and HistoSonics, will share insights into how deep tech founders and investors navigate innovation, scale and global impact.
A key feature of Techcracker Lab is the Medtech Expo, showcasing UNSW’s most promising start-ups. As Australia’s number one university for founders, UNSW is proud to present ventures emerging from its world-class research and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
