The Venture Catalyst Space Program, a one-of-a-kind accelerator and incubator program for space startups in Australia, delivered with the support of the South Australian Government’s Space Innovation Fund and as part of the University of South Australia. The program provides equity-free funding, mentoring and access to academic and industry experts to help our participants build a scalable and investment-ready business.
