Accelerate 9
Meet the ON Accelerate 9 Cohort
The journey began in November 2024 with Bootcamp, where Australia’s brightest DeepTech innovators took their first steps toward commercialisation.
Following a highly competitive selection process, 11 standout teams advanced to Immersion Week and participated in the ON Core event in February 2025.
Over a period of three months, they will undergo an intensive program combining in-person and online learning, guided by industry experts and mentors.
On Thursday, 5 June 2025, we will celebrate the growth and achievements of these pioneering research-driven startups as they take the stage at the ON Accelerate 9 Showcase in Melbourne—presenting their ventures to investors, industry leaders, and the broader innovation ecosystem.
Don’t miss your chance to support the future of Australian innovation— register to attend the ON Accelerate 9 Showcase.
