Australia’s first tech accelerator

TheQUT Creative Enterprise Australia(CEA) has announced the country’s first tech startup accelerator. TheCollider Accelerator是针对“创意技术”的五个月加速器计划。该计划将为10家技术初创公司提供20,000美元的AUD(15,000美元)的投资,以换取公司4%的股权。该加速器的重点关注的领域包括3D打印,机器人技术和物联网(IoT)。

CEA执行经理Mark Gustowski说,

The creative industries contribute around $90-billion to Australia’s economy every year, yet there is limited recognition and programs targeting this sector. We know there are already successful creative tech accelerators run in the UK and USA, so we are looking forward to delivering a first for Australia.

Applications close on the 4th May.

受伤的宠物几内亚猪赠与3D印刷轮椅

Finally, 3D printing has been used to aid an injured guinea pig. Luna, the guinea pig, was unable to walk having broken her leg until students at Lorain County Joint Vocational School (JVS) 3D printed a wheelchair. Fastened with paper clips and some straps, the guinea pig is now able to get around easily.
