Heroes of Hardware: 10 Years of the Lindfield Collaboration Hub

​On Friday 20th November, we're celebrating 10 years of the Lindfield Collaboration Hub with an event dedicated to the people and technologies that have made the Hub what it is today.

​Hosted in The Hive at CSIRO Lindfield, the event will open with Heroes of Hardware, a panel discussion exploring the current realities of building deep-tech hardware and where hardware development is heading in the era of physical AI.

​Join Rebecca Lodin (CTO of Mako), Abbie Widin (Founder of Defy-Hi) and Ted Esdaile-Watts (Principal at techcreators) for a conversation about the realities of taking complex technologies from concept to commercialisation, from prototyping and manufacturing to funding, customers and scale. Moderated by Hub Operations Manager Katie Green, the panel will explore how advances in physical AI and intelligent systems are reshaping hardware development, where the biggest opportunities lie, and what it will take for Australian innovators to turn emerging technologies into real-world impact.

​We'll then bring together our residents, alumni and broader ecosystem for lunch, networking and hands-on demonstrations of technologies being developed in and around the Hub.

​It's an opportunity to reconnect with the people who've been part of the Hub's story, meet the next generation of hardware innovators, and celebrate a decade of collaboration.

​Proudly supported by NSW Government under the Boosting Business Innovation Program.
