Perth Biodesign 2026
Training the Next Generation of Biomedical Entrepreneurs

Oliver Bazzani
Director
Oliver is Director of Perth Biodesign and co-Director of Biodesign Australia, where he fosters the next generation of innovators to solve important problems in healthcare through technology—a path he first walked himself as a participant in the Perth Biodesign for Digital Health 2020 program. During that program, Oliver and his team tackled the challenge of finding the right psychologist, developing Charli, a solution that won both the 2020 Perth Biodesign program and the Freo Startup Fest. That experience ignited his passion for healthcare innovation, which continues today. With broad experience across the Australian startup ecosystem, Oliver is recognised as a trusted advisor and investor to leading startups, accelerators, and venture funds. He serves as a member of the WA State Government Innovation Advisory Board, a judge at the INCITE Awards, and mentor to emerging founders, operators and investors. Previously, Oliver built businesses in health and creative industries, designed the Australian Clinical Entrepreneur and Dream Venture Programs, and led the Child and Adolescent Health Service's innovation function. He also managed WA's largest angel investor network, served as an ambassador for West Tech Fest, and was Chair of Regional Arts WA.
