The NSW government is opening four pre-accelerator programs to support founders from diverse backgrounds and increase the number of social impact startups entering the market.
The programs will support under-represented groups, including women from diverse backgrounds, who want to drive positive change and deliver social impact through entrepreneurship.
“Startups can hold the key to solving some of society’s biggest problems and we want to grow the capabilities of entrepreneurs who want to make a difference for the community,” said Minister for Innovation, Science and Technology Anoulack Chanthivong.
“We also want to build a more diverse innovation ecosystem, which is why these pre-accelerators include opportunities for female founders to take part, along with people from diverse ethnic backgrounds and people with a disability.
