HYPERCUBE VALUES:
Hypercube Scientific is a company built on integrity and intellect, in that order. Our sincere and client-centred culture has won us repeat business with virtually all of our clients. We are proud of our track record of partnership and open collaboration.
ABOUT US
HYPERCUBE VISION:
Our vision is to enable businesses to be efficient and resilient in a fast-changing world, using first principles scientific analysis. Our team will remain small enough to be nimble and responsive, but large enough to tackle the hardest and most wide-ranging problems on behalf of our valued clients.
ABOUT HYPERCUBE:
Hypercube Scientific started in 2018, after Tom Hanna left his job and his past employers just kept right on calling him. From there, we have grown to a team of 13 scientists around Australia, serving clients around the world.
We have never lost our scientific roots and remain an ideal first port of call for postgraduate-qualified scientists looking to start or build their industrial careers.
