The Embassy of France in Australia is organizing a Hackathon on Bio-Innovation, titled “Pacific Bio-Innovation Hackathon: From Lab to Impact”, which will take place at the Alliance Française of Sydney on 21–22 October 2025.
This two-day event offers a unique opportunity for students and young professionals to explore entrepreneurship through the lens of bio-innovation. Participants will be challenged to transform cutting-edge research into tangible real-world applications, discover how business and innovation ecosystems can support scientific creativity, and learn to bridge the gap between research complexity and market expectations.
The Hackathon will focus on start-up concepts grounded in Pacific regional perspectives, drawing on Australian strengths in biotechnology, bioeconomy, and the circular economy. It will run in parallel with the Australian-French Association for Research and Innovation (AFRAN) Forum 2025, themed “Evolving Pacific: Shared Pathways for a Sustainable Future”, which will bring together stakeholders from France, Australia, and the Pacific region to foster innovative, locally driven solutions to sustainability challenges.

Kathleen Flegerbein, PhD candidate from BJBS, recently spoke with Eddie Williams on ABC Southeast NSW’s Breakfast program to share insights from her research. Her project explores the experiences of employees who relocate to rural and regional NSW for work and aims to understand what attracts people to these areas, how they adapt to new communities, and what influences their decision to stay. Her study seeks to identify the systems that support attraction and retention in regional employment and she is still looking for potential research participants.
The interview was broadcast across multiple ABC stations and can be found at around 3:06:00 in the linked program.
(Please note that this is based on reporting up to and including the 9th September. Candidate achievements recorded after that will appear in the next month’s GR News)
If you have news about awards, grants, publications or other achievements please let us know so we can share it.
