What AI products and startup projects are being built in Melbourne right now?
Melbourne AI Startup Pitch Night is an in-person event for AI founders, product builders, developers, investors and technology professionals.
The event will feature 4–5 confirmed early-stage AI startup projects, presenting the problems they are solving, their products, how they are using AI, their current progress and what they plan to build next.
This is not another event focused only on trends and concepts. You will see real AI products being developed, watch live product demos, join Q&A sessions and connect with Melbourne’s AI and startup community.

• Their product or proposed solution
• How AI is used within the product
• Their target users and use cases
• Current product progress
• A prototype, MVP or product demo
• Their next-stage development plans
• The feedback, resources or connections they are looking for
