About us
Backing Victorian innovators to start, scale and succeed.
Our story
Victoria is taking the next step in strengthening its startup and innovation ecosystem with the creation of Innovation Victoria—a single, integrated entity bringing together the strengths of Breakthrough Victoria and LaunchVic.
Innovation Victoria reflects a maturing of Victoria’s innovation ecosystem. Our focus is building strong foundations and making our ecosystem simpler to navigate—giving entrepreneurs, founders and investors a clearer pathway from early ideas through to scale and impact. With a single front door and more resources available for founders than ever before, we’re making the system simpler and easier to navigate—so you can succeed faster.
Our purpose
Innovation Victoria exists to grow Victoria’s startup and innovation ecosystem by helping more people turn good ideas into successful, scalable companies.
We bring support, capability building and investment together in one place - so it’s easier to move from idea to commercialisation, growth and global impact.
By connecting entrepreneurs, founders and investors with the right tools, advice and pathways to capital and customers, we help accelerate progress, unlock opportunity and drive long-term economic benefits for Victoria.

We're building a new online experience
Innovation Victoria has launched as the new front door for founders and the ecosystem. While we build the new Innovation Victoria online experience, you will be directed to the Breakthrough Victoria and LaunchVic websites for information on current programs, investments and resources.
