Founded in 2013 in Adelaide, Makers Empire creates market-leading solutions for schools, teachers, students and families. Makers Empire’s products are backed by Macquarie University research, certified by Education Alliance Finland for pedagogical quality and recommended by Common Sense Education in the USA.
South Australian Minister for Innovation and Skills, David Pisoni, said, “COVID-19 has posed a challenge to all levels of business, so it is great to see an innovative South Australian startup navigating these conditions and working to grow its suite of products for domestic and export markets.”
“The Research, Commercialisation and Startup Fund provides seed funding to enable more businesses — like Makers Empire — to commercialise their great ideas, employ local workers and cement South Australia’s reputation as a place of innovation and excellence in hi-tech and education. The $17.5 million allocated from the RCSF has leveraged $350 million in funding from industry and government,” the Minister added.

The state government’s funding will be matched dollar for dollar by the company and is expected to create more than a dozen local jobs within two years.
