Incubator Support Initiative – New and Existing Incubators

Overview

Incubator Support – New and Existing Incubators gives incubators the help they need to assist start-ups, through: delivering high quality services to start-ups to improve their chances of commercial success in international markets partnering with first-generation migrant and refugee support organisations to assist migrant and refugee founders to establish their business both nationally and internationally assisting start-ups with a regional focus to expand and scale their business. The Incubator Support Initiative offers skilled facilitators – Regional Incubator Facilitators (RIFs) who can assist potential applicants, particularly in regional areas, to access funding. The RIFs provide assistance to incubators by providing advice, mentoring, specialist expertise and can help broker partnerships between start-up incubators and migrant and refugee organisations. We also assist you to access public data through the DataStart program and will promote start-ups through case studies on the data.gov.au portal. Funding is also available under the other Incubator Support component: Expert in Residence. The Incubator Support Initiative is one of 4 elements that form the Entrepreneurs’ Programme.
