Translating Science to Success: IGP Networking Breakfast Series Wraps in Melbourne

MTPConnect was thrilled to welcome over 30 attendees for our IGP Networking Breakfast in Melbourne, Translating Science to Success.

Joining us were current Industry Growth Program (IGP) clients as well as founders keen to learn more about the Australian Government’s program and how it can support their companies.

IGP Advisor, Adam Wardell, shared his expertise on navigating the IGP application process, and unpacked what the IGP offers: strategic guidance, powerful networks, and meaningful funding opportunities.

We were also delighted to have Robert Gangi, Founder of Lindo as our keynote speaker. He generously spoke about his medtech innovation journey – from securing a $2 million IGP grant to the work of translating science into real-world impact – usability tests, early prototypes and sheer determination.

Today wraps the final chapter of our national networking series, and what a way to end it!

Over the course of these events, we’ve travelled to Australia’s major cities, bringing together over a hundred innovators, founders, and scientists who are turning bold ideas into real-world impact.

Events like these exist to champion innovative Australian start-ups and SMEs as they commercialise and grow their businesses.
