About this Event
WSTI Festi 2026: Pitch Night
Watch Western Sydney's boldest AI ideas take the stage: pitches, connections and the momentum that helps great ideas scale.
In April, the Western Sydney AI Innovation Summit finished with a Pitch Night at Western Sydney Startup Hub, where finalist teams pitched the AI projects they had built and the community voted for the winners. Pitch Night returns as part of WSTI Festi 2026.
