Startup Gippsland is a regional initiative that aims to ignite the region’s startup ecosystem.

Recognising the significant business growth and job opportunities that this culture could bring to regional areas, LaunchVIC, the Victorian Government’s startup agency, funded a select number of regional startup programs in 2018, including Startup Gippsland.

Startup Gippsland has three programs to support startups at different life stages:

• An Incubator Program for early-stage startups to focus, validate and grow their business or idea.
• An Accelerator Program for later-stage startups to prepare their business for scale and international expansion.
• An Open Program of one-off events for startups at all stages to learn business fundamentals like business modelling, pitching and exporting.

For more information and details on applying for the above programs, visit the Startup Gippsland website
