ICN Victoria champions local business, connecting suppliers and project leaders with game-changing opportunities across Victoria and beyond. For over 40 years, ICN Victoria has helped local talent win big, building real community impact and accelerating industry growth.
Now, we’re embarking on an exciting new chapter as we transition from a government-supported network to a dynamic, commercial enterprise focused on powering competitive advantage for Victorian business.
Our story
Born in 1984, ICN Victoria started with a clear mission - put local capability at the heart of every major project.

Our transformation means faster decisions, broader networks, and more support.

We’re energised to help clients respond to change, seize new opportunities, and build strong local supply chains for a cleaner, smarter, and more resilient economy.
