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.

Thursday, 4 June, Sydney

ARM Hub will hold a Fireside at Stone & Chalk featuring ARM Hub Head of Mechatronics Dr Troy Cordie, 2025 Propel-AIR winner Dominic Lindsay, and Stone & Chalk CEO Stela Solar. If you want to hear what it actually takes to go from concept to global market, this is the session.
