Tech accelerator for female founders
A new technology accelerated in Queensland aims to help female business owners and company leaders take their organisations to the next level.
The ARM Hub Technology Roadmap Accelerator for Female Founders is now accepting expressions of interest from Queensland-based technology and manufacturing companies.
ARM Hub CEO and founder Dr Cori Stewart launched the accelerator with Innovation Minister Stirling Hinchliffe at ARM Hub this week.
“As a female founder myself, I’m thrilled to be able to offer this program to Queensland’s female entrepreneurs and business leaders,” Stewart said.
“The accelerator goes beyond refining your business objectives. We help you identify and plan the Industry 5.0 technologies you need to scale your business.
“These roadmaps are fit-for-purpose, designed with the help of leading Australian experts in the field of robotics, artificial intelligence, automation and design-led manufacturing.
“This is an extremely valuable opportunity for Queensland small to medium enterprises or microbusinesses to tap into a wealth of knowledge and experience that may normally be hard to access. Roadmaps are essential for growing your business and becoming more attractive to investors,” Stewart said.
The accelerator is open to women in Queensland who have founded a business, are in a business that is 50% female-owned, and/or is led by a female.
To gain the most benefit from the accelerator, ARM Hub recommends applying if:
- your business or product is underpinned by, or includes, a technology component, OR
- your business or product requires manufacturing, OR
- your business or product includes a technology component and requires manufacturing.
The ARM Hub Technology Accelerator Roadmap for Female Founders is a joint initiative with VenturePro and supported by the Advance Queensland Female Founders Accelerator Program.
The Hub technology accelerator is one of the recipients of the first round of the Advance Queensland Female Founders Accelerator Program. Expressions of interest to join the program close on 15 August 2023. The accelerator will run from August to November 2023. For more information and to register interest, click here.
