The University of Newcastle's Integrated Innovation Network (I2N) is gearing up to launch its highly anticipated All-Industries Accelerator. With a focus on turning ideas and challenges into opportunities, the I2N is renowned for cultivating entrepreneurial mindsets behind many of the region's most innovative businesses and leaders.
The All-Industries Accelerator promises a guided experience aimed at rapidly validating business ideas and preparing founders for investment.
The program offers a three-phase structure, starting with the Pre-accelerator, followed by the Accelerator, and concluding with the Incubator phase. Each phase is designed to provide participants with the necessary resources and guidance to progress in their entrepreneurial journey.
The Pre-accelerator Phase offers deep dive workshops, weekly coaching sessions, peer networking opportunities, and partner benefits. It aims to help startups validate their ideas and solutions and lay the groundwork for success in the subsequent phases.
As part of the Accelerator Phase, participants will engage in a series of workshops covering essential topics such as Milestones, Storytelling, Marketing & Branding, and more. They will also benefit from Lunch & Learn sessions, Demo Night, coaching sessions, mentoring, coworking space, and discounted tech platforms. This phase is focused on preparing startups for growth and investment.
Program schedule:
Application phase: Mon 29 Jan - Sun 7 Apr
Pre-accelerator phase: Wed 1 May - Wed 19 Jun
Accelerator phase: Wed 21 Aug - Wed 13 Nov
