ARM Hub announces Propel-AIR tour
ARM Hub has announced a tour to reach more organisations hoping to join the Propel-AIR AI & Robotics accelerator.
Since 2020, when Australia’s first robotics and advanced manufacturing hub opened — backed by the Queensland Government, QUT, RMIT, CSIRO, IMCRC, World Economic Forum and Fraunhofer IAO IPA — ARM Hub has been providing assistance in the development of robotics and AI in Australia.
ARM Hub said the Propel-AIR initiative delivered real results in 2025, and with commercialisation, marketing and technical support on offer for all finalists and a one-month residency in Boston for the winner, there are applications from every state.
The Australia-wide tour over the coming weeks will take in Perth, Brisbane and Sydney.
Thursday, 21 May, Perth
ARM Hub CEO Professor Cori Stewart and CCO Samuel Jesuadian will attend a Propel-AIR Q&A hosted by Hyperion Systems starting at midday. Hyperion builds large-format 3D-printed components for marine, defence and construction from its Henderson facility.
Tuesday, 2 June, Brisbane and online
A hybrid evening event at UQ covering IP and commercialisation in the robotics and AI space.
Interested parties are welcome to attend in person or online.
