VCs discuss funding as part of the S2S Summit.

The annual Tank Stream Labs S2S Summit returns this year in August for a third time, sending the Sydney Startup Hub off with a bang.

The two-day event, August 20-21, 2025, is designed to empower entrepreneurs, innovators, and industry leaders with keynote presentations, panel discussions, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities.

Tank Stream Labs has been part of the Sydney Startup Hub, above Wynyard station, since it opened seven years ago. The NSW government is planning to relocate the hub out of the CBD to an as-yet-unkown location in the Tech Central precinct around Central Station later this year, so the S2S Summit will be one of the last major events there.

Tank Stream Labs CEO Bradley Delamare said it will be a farewell celebration of the Sydney Startup Hub and its profound impact on the Australian startup scene.

We’re honoured to recognise the incredible growth and success of the businesses that have been a part of this community and the impact they have had on Australian economy and industry recognition,” he said.

“This year’s event will be bigger and better than ever, with a focus on providing practical insights and actionable strategies for startups and scaleups at all stages.

Never events this year include:

Day 1: Investor Stage and personal growth workshops.
Day 2: Business and commercial workshops.
Networking sessions: Themed roundtables, speed networking, and informal meetups.
Female Founders Breakfast: Exclusive networking and mentoring session.
VIP Dinner: A high-profile gathering for investors, speakers, and partners.

On top of that,Delamare promises a scaleup-focussed agenda, delving into critical topics such as AI, global expansion, investment strategies, and founder well-being, and an innovation showcase, as well as a pitch competition. He’s also on the hunt for event sponsors – get in touch via events@tankstreamlabs.com.

Tickets are currently available for a special launch price of $99, or $159 for both days. Grab them here.
