On 31^st July 2020 our federally funded project officially ended, however we are awaiting news of further potential funding to continue programming from October 2020. Watch this space! 

Until then, all applications are on hold to join Bega Valley Innovation Hub and to be part of the iAccelerate Innovation Network in the Bega Valley. 

This application form is for the Bega Valley Innovation Hub. If you want to apply for the Wollongong-based iAccelerate program, visit the iAccelerate website.

The first stage of the application process is to attend the PRIME – TEST YOUR BUSINESS CASE  workshop prior to applying. Please check our events page for upcoming dates.

Our program

The Bega Valley Innovation Hub isn’t your average accelerator. We do more than simply getting you off the ground – we set you up with the skills and know-how to build and grow your business exponentially into the future.

We are open to anyone with a brilliant idea

Our programs are open to anyone with a brilliant idea they’re keen to pursue.

Our Founders are startups, small to medium enterprises and large organisations looking to innovate. We’re also home to government bodies ready to do things differently and social enterprises with a higher purpose for humanity.

We offer

• Structured programming
• Online access to training, mentoring and co-working and when we can desk space in a friendly and collaborative coworking environment.

What we look for

When we’re assessing your application, we’re looking for:

• A scalable business
• High-performance teams
• Commitment to growing the Bega Valley ecosystem, and/or
• Openness to feedback.

If you’re successful you’ll need to attend an interview in Mid February 2020; we’ll shoot you more information around the process once applications close. The lucky entrepreneurial sparks selected to become part of the next iAccelerate Acceleration program will jump on board on Monday 2nd March 2020 (dates subject to change).

And from there, anything can happen.
