Spark Festival

Spark Festival is Australia's largest entrepreneurial community, originating in 2016 as the Sydney Startup Festival. It is a not-for-profit, grassroots festival and community that includes startups, investors, SMEs, government, corporates, and innovators primarily from New South Wales (NSW) and beyond. The festival aims to inspire, connect, and educate participants about the new economy. Spark Festival hosts events throughout the year, mostly free to attend, to ensure accessibility for all. It also features the Spark Investment Network, which connects investor-ready founders with key investors. The festival is supported by various partners, including Investment NSW and ACS Labs.
