The NSW Commercialisation Showcase 2024 is an event to celebrate innovative companies in NSW and discuss the ways Government can support industry in the commercialisation and procurement of their technologies.

The Office of Chief Scientist and Engineer (OCSE) is hosting a showcase designed to promote awareness of innovation in NSW businesses which have received support through OCSE programs. The showcase will also highlight the value of collaboration between NSW businesses and the NSW Government and give companies a chance to present their innovations, and engage with a wide stakeholder base. The audience will comprise leaders from industry, universities, government and the venture ecosystem.
