Tropical Innovation Feast, the annual gathering of Queensland's innovation community, brought founders, investors and ecosystem builders together in Cairns. For Eastend, it was an opportunity to deepen relationships across the Queensland pipeline and meet the next wave of QLD founders building deep tech, climate and frontier-industry companies.
The event remains one of the most distinctive on the Australian innovation calendar. Held in a tropical setting, focused on regional and Northern Australia innovation, and structured to encourage conversations across industries that don't always sit at the same table.
Eastend's Queensland presence
Eastend's Queensland coverage is led by Laura Ashmole, our Venture Partner for QLD, with active support across the partnership. As the Fund's QLD pipeline grows, events like Tropical Innovation Feast will continue to be a fixture for the firm.
