The program powered by Cbus Super will be a key feature at this year’s DesignBUILD at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in May.
Individuals or companies with innovative ideas or new products that have not exhibited previously are invited to make a submission to become feature partners for 2016 under the DesignBUILD Incubator banner.
A panel of industry experts will be charged with selecting five products or ideas that promote genuine entrepreneurship and innovation in the architecture, building, construction and design industries.
This will provide a platform for new product manufacturers to connect with industry at a commercial level, offering a leg up to emerging talent and promoting collaboration between the four sectors.
DesignBUILD Event Manager Ali Mead said that it was important for leading professionals to have visibility across new and emerging talent, both within their own industry and across other disciplines that they collaborate with.
“By giving entrepreneurs in architecture, building, construction and design a platform to showcase their work, DesignBUILD will also facilitate cross-industry networking and promote further collaboration between them,” Ms Mead said.
“These new projects will not only add an inspiring physical construction to the show but also assist new talent meet key decision makers, to help propel them and the industry forward.”
