Programs
The Innovation & Collaboration Centre is home to Venture Catalyst and the state's first space incubator program Venture Catalyst Space. These programs are designed to help founders start their business.
Applications close this Sunday, July 30 for the free Venture Catalyst startup support program in the general and social enterprise categories. Now is the time to take the next step in turning that great new idea into a thriving startup business.
Apply to participate in the program which offers a $10,000 stipend, tailored workshops and one-on-one mentoring, dedicated office space at the new Enterprise Hub and access to a pool of global industry experts.
The program will also provide a supportive community of likeminded individuals who are working through the same challenges that you may be facing.
