The Innovation
InfinityLab ventures are based on proven innovation.
New ventures commence by testing the innovations relevance and viability for local markets.
Innovation is fundamental to Australia’s future. The benefits will however only be realised if this is effectively communicated and delivered to end users.
From ink derived from car fumes to self-propelling elevators (for ambulances and personal use), there is an amazing stream of innovation that can benefit society and our environment.
To see some innovation that may be introduced see the “Innovation” or InfinityLab on Facebook

InfinityLab for Organisations
Change is inevitable as organisations realign skill sets to compete in a global market.
InfinityLab provides a number of benefits for your organisation.
Your Staff
Change is confronting for transitioning staff and for those remaining.
Staff leaving impacts on morale and performance.
InfinityLab gives you the ability to offer transitioning staff an alternative future
Companies are increasingly recognising the importance of social responsibility.
InfinityLab provides inclusive entrepreneurship, creates positive social change and helps people develop alternative futures. This is not only bringing extraordinary innovation to society and helping those who want,or need to work, build new careers but is also helping people avoid the social isolation that comes from working on ones own.
Your organisation and InfinityLab
Internal innovation, and “hackathons”, may be disruptive to ongoing operations and can be less than effective
Supporting transitioning staff with a position on the InfinityLab program helps your organisation discover and implement new products without disrupting ongoing business
Engaging with InfinityLab benefits your organisation by utilising the knowledge of departing staff
Retained staff benefit as they:
- See your company supporting transition planning
- Can provide social impact and meaningful volunteering
- Gain exposure to innovation and the startup process without leaving your organisation
- See high performance teams being developed (with opportunities to provide feedback on innovation and the teams)
- Develop experience and skills for “the future of work”.
Change impacts on all of us.
Traditional forms, and forums, of social interaction are changing. The need to support staff has never been more important.
Progressive organisations are embracing new models for doing business and ensuring the welfare of staff.
