Six education programs for investors and innovators are part of the $516,000 pilot program.
The programs range from business scale up strategies in the agritech, fintech, and Internet of Things (IoT) fields, delivered through co-working space Spacecubed, to a founders development program for young founders, led by St Catherine’s College.
According to Minister for Innovation and ICT, Dave Kelly, these programs will provide advanced manufacturers with great potential.
“This new pilot program will give small businesses in areas such as space, fintech and agritech the skills and tools required to take their businesses to the next level,” said Kelly.
