UQ ilab

Applications for the 2023 program are now closed.

The ilab Accelerator 2023 program will run from December 2022 to March 2023.

During the three-month program (December to March), each startup team receives $10,000 equity-free funding to help get you ready for the market and become attractive to investors. You will work closely with our Entrepreneurs in Residence and have access to our extensive mentor and investor networks, as well as workshops, industry events and co-working space. Founders from all disciplines are encouraged to apply – from social impact and fintech to mining and health. Open to all UQ students, recent alumni, and staff.

See the eligibility criteria on the ilab page. Briefly, at least half of your team members must be part of the UQ community by either being a current UQ student, recent alumni of UQ (10 years or less), UQ staff member or researcher.
