Cameron Ritchie

I joined the Canberra Innovation Network (Canberra, Australia's only startup hub) as Collaborative Innovation Manager in 2017 where my role included working with large corporations, government, and business to create and implement innovation strategies internally. While in this role, I also advised and mentored over 200 early-to-SME stage entrepreneurs and startups in taking them from idea to market.

Fast forward to 2022 where I joined Design + Industry (product development company) as Innovation Partner. Here my role includes working with research institutions, large companies, international corporates, industry bodies, startups and more to bridge the gap between D+I and the industry. I also assist deal flow and support clients on their hardware journey.
