ESIC ® Hub is Australia’s first and only online platform dedicated to serving the needs of the early-stage community of entrepreneurs, innovators, researchers, investors, and their advisers. The foundations of ESIC® Hub reach back to 1993 when we developed a passion for advising, constructing, making and manage innovation investments on behalf of clients, many of who remain connected with us today. With this background, it was natural for us to be involved with the recent innovation agenda from commencement. We were one of the leading contributors in the consultation process that responded to the Government’s Innovation Statement released in December 2015. Our thoughts, views and experiences helped shape today’s outcome and are now delivered to the early stage community through ESIC ® Hub. We are Australian-owned and independent. We were established in 2016 following the introduction of significant tax incentives around early-stage innovation companies (ESICs®). At ESIC® Hub we have developed free online tools for early-stage companies to accelerate their capital raisings and for investors to understand the tax savings created by an ESIC® investment, an emerging new asset class.
