Frankston Foundry has received $154,500 as part of the State Government’s $60 million LaunchVic initiative.
The co-working space and start-up incubator for entrepreneurs and technical professionals was established last year by Cameron Rambert and James Bertschik. It is designed to give like-minded businesses a space from which to work where they have the opportunity to learn from one another, generate ideas and build partnerships.
Frankston state Labor MP Paul Edbrooke praised the government’s investment in the region. “Frankston is a fantastic place to live, work and do business and our continued investment in these vital initiatives not only supports future local job creation but it strengthens our growing reputation as a regional tech hub.”
The foundry now has plans to turbocharge innovation on the Mornington Peninsula with the appointment of a dedicated community manager and the development of a program of events, including an annual hackathon. Picture: Cameron Rambert, Paul Edbrooke and James Bertschik.
