Motivated entrepreneurs with a sustainability focused startup with a strong value proposition and scaleable business model, who are keen to learn from business experts and connect to new networks.

The program is open to regional based businesses, or businesses that are focusing on impact in the regions. 

The CONNECT program selects 6-10 businesses and this is dependant the number of applications received. 

We have an extensive network of business leaders and trusted advisors that we utilise for training and mentoring, and will select guest speakers who will present on topics relevant to the cohort’s needs. 

The masterclasses will be based at Innovation Cluster’s new base in Vasse with office, training room and co-working space. There are also Perth networking events scheduled. We also have access to meeting spaces in the Perth CBD if required for project and mentor meetings.  

Those who apply from outside the south west will have to be prepared to travel at their own cost.

We have delivered multiple programs since covid began, including pivoting an entire accelerator to online format in March 2020. We have run several programs since as a hybrid virtual and face to face, which have been highly successful. If covid restrictions are enforced again, many of the face to face events planned can be delivered online, or delivered at a later date. 

Yes, CONNECT Sustainable Industries also includes networking events, mini hackathons, commercialisation mentoring, investor roundtable and regional showcase event. Please get in touch here through our EOI form.
