CORE INNOVATION HUB
About
Infrastructure That Activates Innovation
The energy and mining sectors are undergoing a major transformation, driven by the push for decarbonisation, digitalisation, and efficiency. However, innovation faces persistent barriers such as siloed ecosystems, limited test environments, and challenges in validating new technologies.
CORE Innovation Hub addresses these barriers by designing and activating ecosystems that connect startups, industry leaders, researchers, and government. Through purpose-built hubs, test beds, and precincts, CORE accelerates the commercialisation of critical technologies—de-risking investment, supporting founders, and enabling faster industry adoption.
With a national network spanning six locations and Australia’s largest industrial test site for automation and robotics, CORE is shaping the future of mining, energy, and advanced industries. Backed by deep-tech expertise, sector knowledge, and infrastructure delivery, CORE supports an innovation community of more than 6,500 and continues to drive large-scale impact across the country.
