Celebrating Innovation and Impact at the 2025 SA/NT iAwards

The 2025 SA/NT iAwards brought together some of the brightest minds and boldest innovations from across South Australia and the Northern Territory — and we were proud to be part of the celebration.

Our founder, Lisa Andrews, took to the stage as Master of Ceremonies, energising the room and shining a spotlight on the entrepreneurs, technologists, and changemakers building solutions for a better tomorrow.

Hosted by KPMG — a long-time supporter of Australia’s innovation ecosystem — the event highlighted the vital role emerging technologies play in strengthening industry, government and community outcomes.

Special guest Michael Brown MP, Assistant Minister for Artificial Intelligence and the Digital Economy, spoke to the growing potential of AI to drive economic growth and social advancement in South Australia. He also acknowledged the need for collaborative leadership between government, business and innovators to ensure that emerging technologies are deployed ethically and inclusively.
