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 have undergone 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.
