Our guided walking tour offers a ground-level look at this thriving precinct, featuring transformative architecture, pioneering startups, university partnerships, and bold urban design.”
Whether you're a visitor, founder, student, team member, investor, or simply curious, don’t miss the chance to experience how the Tech Central Innovation District is shaping the future of innovation in Sydney.
The tour begins at the iconic UTS Tower and takes you through Ultimo, Chippendale, Central Station, Surry Hills, and ends in Haymarket. Along the way, you will hear the stories of the people, ideas and companies that power this vibrant ecosystem.
Each tour concludes at Stone and Chalk where participants are invited to join the standing innovation community networking event, Chalk Chills.


"The Tech Central Walking tour was truly impactful, connecting with great people from across our community,” said founder Bonny Morlak.
“I enjoyed getting to know the amazing cultural spaces and experiences that you find in our neighbourhood, as well as seeing first-hand the innovations and impact that businesses in Tech Central are creating. All washed down with a beer and a slice of pizza, matched with some good networking at the end."
