Why you should apply

What this program is

inQ Innovation and WE HUB have launched the Australia-India Cyber and Critical Technology Partnership (AICCTP) Market Access and Business Pathways Program for Women-led Tech Businesses in Australia and India called CyberTech WE. A global innovation bridge program, CyberTech WE is set to build an ongoing bilateral start-up-scale-up exchange program to support and enrich the start-up ecosystem for Women Entrepreneurs in Cyberspace and Critical Technology across India and Australia.

In this program, participants will join a six-week market-ready immersive program with workshops that cover essential topics to prepare them to enter and scale into their target market. After the workshops, the entrepreneurs will go on to receive one on one mentorship with our industry partners. This experience should ideally help them to submit a winning pitch to investors.

The top three pitches win their entrepreneurs an investment opportunity of a lifetime.

Partnering for the future of technology

What is the Australia-India Initiative?

In the backdrop of the Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (AIECTA), to help businesses scale to global markets and increase participation of women entrepreneurs in the areas of critical technologies, the Australian Government & Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade (DFAT) recently launched the Australia-India Cyber and Critical Technology Partnership Grant (AICCTP). WE HUB Foundation and inQ Innovation were selected in the second round of AICCTP Grant Program. The program promotes Australian and Indian organisations working together to contribute to the global development of ethical standards around critical and emerging technologies.

CyberTech WE, a Global Innovation Exchange Program, is set to bridge the bi-lateral markets to support and enrich the Startup Ecosystem for Women Entrepreneurs in Cyberspace and Critical Technologies across India and Australia.
