We are the catalyst for inspiring tech innovation in Australia, by creating immersive virtual and physical missions to overseas technology innovation hotspots, including; SILICON VALLEY, EUROPE, ISRAEL, ASIA & THE PACIFIC.

Startup Catalyst was formed to assist in the cultural transformation of the Australian economy to one that is fast paced, startup aware, and “global first”. We achieve this through the immersion of future and current entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and investors in innovation, into high-paced startup-rich environments to help understand differences in our business cultures, and to build networks and connections for trade; on return to fully network these lessons back into the broader community.

Our individual Missions are tailored specifically for the attendees, and include visits to tech giants, high-growth startups, local investors, corporate innovators, accelerators, incubators, and co-working spaces.

Through structured programs including site visits, private tours, guest speakers, events, dinners and social interactions, we provide participants with deep insights and personal connections into new international markets.

 

“THIS IS ABOUT HELPING AUSTRALIAN ENTREPRENEURS AND BUSINESSES LEARN FROM INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS, AND CATALYSE THE FORMATION OF AUSTRALIAN COMPANIES THAT WILL BECOME GLOBAL SUCCESSES AND MAKE A DENT IN THE UNIVERSE.”
