Following the success of its inaugural round, ATech is excited to launch Round 2 of the ATech Boost incubator program. Designed to empower high-potential tech startups, this initiative provides $100,000 in free cloud hosting credits, expert technical guidance and business mentoring — at no cost to participants.
Applications for Round 2 are now open and will be accepted until Thursday 3 April 2025.
The ATech Boost incubator program equips selected startups with the essential tools to scale and succeed in a competitive market. The key features of the program include:
- Cloud Hosting Credits ($100,000): Startups selected for the program will receive substantial cloud hosting credits from ATech, enabling them to leverage advanced hosting solutions and infrastructure without the financial burden. These credits can be used during the incubation period.
- Expert Technical Consultation (36 Hours): Participants will have access to ATech's team of seasoned technical experts, offering personalised guidance and support to navigate complex technical challenges and optimise their cloud infrastructure.
- Business Growth Mentoring (10 Hours): In addition to technical support, startups will benefit from 10 hours of business growth mentoring. Experienced mentors will provide insights and guidance to help startups scale and succeed in the competitive business environment.
The ATech Boost incubator program is open to tech-based startups or scale-ups that have an active Australian Business Number (ABN), employ fewer than 50 people, are registered for goods and services tax (GST), and present a significant growth opportunity.
Sarah-Jane Peterschlingmann, Managing Director of ATech, said, “We were thrilled with the impact of Round 1 and are excited to support the next wave of innovative startups in Round 2 of the ATech Boost incubator.
“With $4 billion invested into Aussie startups last year, it’s clear that the ecosystem is thriving. However, only 7% of that funding flowed into Queensland, and an even smaller share reached startups with all-female founders. ATech Boost is about more than just funding — it’s a platform for startups to gain the resources, expertise and support needed to drive meaningful growth.”
GreenKPI, a leading-edge sustainability consulting software improving efficiencies and sustainability performance for consultancies and their clients, was selected for the inaugural ATech Boost incubator program after a rigorous selection process.
Johanna Kloot, CEO of GreenKPI, said, "Being part of the ATech Boost incubator has been a game-changer for GreenKPI. The program provided invaluable support, helping us refine our technology, scale our impact and improve value to our customers.
"ATech Boost has been instrumental in accelerating our mission, and I encourage startups looking to make a real impact to seize this opportunity and apply for Round 2."
