The Labs offer digital skills development and rapid prototyping through onsite digital fabrication equipment along with Industry 4.0 expertise at many of the sites.
A major focus for the Eagle Labs is creating a community of like-minded entrepreneurs in a collaborative work environment with access to peers and opportunities to maximise growth through digital connections, curated events and funding opportunities.
