CORE Innovation Hub teams up with Radium Capital

MEDIA RELEASE 10/08/2023

We’re delighted to announce our partnership with Radium Capital  ̶  an initiative that will enable better access for early-stage resources and energy sector businesses to our non-dilutionary funding. The initial 12-month agreement sees Radium become a CORE Start program partner and a proud sponsor of CORE Innovation Hub’s 2024 Hot 30 Awards for trailblazing scale-ups.

Under the partnership deal, R&D finance experts will co-locate at CORE Innovation Hub’s Perth, Adelaide and Newman sites. There, they will offer in-person consultations with program participants. Crucially, CORE Innovation Hub’s monthly CORE Connect Industry events will feature Radium Capital experts as panelists and presenters. And bespoke content on R&D financing for energy and resources start-ups will form part of the CORE Start program itself.

Radium Capital Managing Director Jeremy Loftus says, “Research and development in the energy and resources space can often be prohibitively capital-intensive.”

“The partnership strengthens access to reliable and regular capital for resources and energy start-ups targeting economic and environmental wins.”

CORE Innovation Hub is Australia’s leader in building ecosystems and innovation infrastructure for the resources and energy sector. By offering a platform, CORE Innovation Hub supports innovative companies using advanced technology solutions to solve grand problems. Founded in 2020 in Perth, CORE Innovation Hub has a base at Adelaide’s Lot Fourteen and in Newman WA.

Renee Hakendorf CORE Innovation Hub’s National Innovation Hub Lead says, “We are very pleased to welcome Radium Capital as Ecosystem Partners with CORE Innovation Hub.”

“As entrepreneurs themselves, Radium Capital brings a unique perspective that complements our CORE Start and Hot 30 Awards programs,” Renee says.

“This partnership will strengthen our support for emerging innovators and small businesses in the energy and mining sector.”
