iAccelerate (239)

Welcome to iAccelerate, located in the beautiful city of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. We are more than just an institution - we are a community of entrepreneurs who are passionate about changing the world.

At iAccelerate, we offer a unique program and community for entrepreneurs, startups, scale-ups, social enterprises, and intrapreneurs. Whether you have a new idea or want to scale-up your existing business, we provide the support and resources you need to thrive.

Our program is designed to nurture your idea and help you bring it to life. With a robust model of education, mentoring, seed funding, and unparalleled access to one of the world's most innovative young research universities, you'll have everything you need to succeed.

Located within the purpose-built iAccelerate Centre, our institution is home to the most innovative minds, creative ideas, and entrepreneurial vibe. It's a unique place to start and scale your business, with endless opportunities to grow your idea and make a real impact.

What sets us apart from other programs in Australia is our fusion of a pre-accelerator, accelerator, and incubation program. We don't just help you build skills and start your business - we develop capacity in you and your team to get your product or service to market faster, find and grow your audience, and foster a culture of sustainable innovation.

Unlike other programs, we are invested in your long-term success. We do not take an equity stake in our iAccelerate companies because we want your business to continue to grow and contribute to the local economy and community. We are here to support you every step of the way.

As part of the University of Wollongong, our residents have access to expertise, equipment, research, support, and a talented workforce. We are committed to helping build and scale sustainable businesses that have a positive impact on our region, nation, and the world.

At iAccelerate, we are proud supporters of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Throughout our program, we encourage entrepreneurs to implement these goals into their business, empowering them to solve the world's biggest problems.

Equity, diversity, and inclusion are at the core of everything we do. We believe that incredible things happen when a multitude of perspectives collide, and we strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all.

We are not just an institution within the University of Wollongong - our reach goes beyond our walls. We are open and accessible to all, and anyone can apply to be part of this exceptional environment.

Join us at the iAccelerate Centre, located at Innovation Campus, University of Wollongong, North Wollongong, NSW, and experience the incredible opportunities that await you. Take a tour and attend an information session to see for yourself what makes iAccelerate so special.

We would also like to acknowledge and respect the traditional custodians and cultural knowledge holders of the lands on which we study, work, and live.
