UTS Startups @ Central

On the busiest street corner in Sydney, UTS Startups @ Central is showing one million people each year what technology-enabled entrepreneurs are doing, how they're doing it, who they are and how to become one.

To host your event for new entrepreneurs in this space, or for all other enquiries, please contact us.

Entrepreneurs create the new jobs, the new exports and disseminate the innovations that drive the economic recovery that Australia needs. Unfortunately, entrepreneurship is often done indoors, on small screens, and is not seen or understood by the millions of Australians who might pursue it. To address this, UTS is opening UTS Startups @ Central, a unique space on the busiest street corner in Sydney, to inspire thousands of new technology-enabled entrepreneurs and accelerate the activation of Tech Central.

Transforming the former Co-op Bookstore location, UTS Startups @ Central will show one million people each year what technology-enabled entrepreneurs are doing, how they're doing it, who they are, and how to become one by joining or streaming free workshops, talks and interviews.

Made possible through the combined efforts of many different parts of UTS (including entirely salvaged IT and furniture) and with support from the City of Sydney, this space is an expansion of the existing UTS Startups program, which has inspired and supported 760 new startups over the last three years, creating 401 paid jobs in the last year alone.

Please visit our YouTube channel to view all content streamed from this space.
