auXync awarded 2025 Innovation Connect (ICON)

1 January 2026

In the second round of the 2025 Innovation Connect (ICON) grant program, auXync Pty Ltd was selected as one of eight innovative Canberra businesses to receive matched funding to develop and commercialise its technology.

The program, delivered by the Canberra Innovation Network in partnership with the ACT Government, supports early-stage ventures with grants of between $10,000 and $30,000 to advance market testing, prototyping, and commercial feasibility.

More than 70 companies submitted EOIs for this ICON round, with just 22 shortlisted to progress beyond the initial stage. From this shortlisted group, entrepreneurs and CEOs were invited to deliver final pitch presentations to an esteemed panel of four judges drawn from leaders in innovation-focused businesses, investors, and previous ICON grant recipients. Following this competitive process, auXync Pty Ltd was chosen as one of the eight grant recipients.

This recognition highlights auXync’s contribution to Canberra’s innovation ecosystem and provides a crucial boost to accelerating our next phase of development under the ICON program, and beyond.
