10 years of Innovation
at the MCIC
Built on the belief that βThereβs always a better way.β β Dr. Michael Crouch AO
In 2015, UNSW opened the Michael Crouch Innovation Centre (MCIC)βAustraliaβs first university space dedicated entirely to innovation. It was founded with a bold ambition: To become the leading university-based innovation network in Asia-Pacific by 2025.
Fueled by that vision and the philanthropic support, the MCIC has grown into a powerhouse of innovation. Over the past decade, it has become the home of UNSW Founders, the launchpad for the UNSW 10x Accelerator, and a space where bold ideas come to life.
In 2024 UNSW was named the #1 Entrepreneurial University in Asia-Pacific.In 2025, we celebrate 10 years of impactβ and set the next goal of being the #1 entrepreneurial university in the world.
