Mining and energy scale-up accelerator program to launch

RISE is a new scale-up accelerator focusing on Australia’s mining and energy resources sectors.

The program builds on the successful formula of the 2017 Igniting METS accelerator pilot, an initiative of METS Ignited and the Queensland Government, with an expanded sector focus and national footprint through collaboration with NERA and the Western Australian Government.

RISE is specifically designed for scale-ups with proven solutions to priority challenges facing the mining and energy resources sectors, who are seeking to commercialise their products and services in the domestic and international markets.

Resources Innovators Scale-ups and Entrepreneurs (RISE) will take part in an intensive 12-week program, designed to drive the next wave of innovation within the mining and energy resources sectors. The RISE accelerator powered by KPMG Energise will challenge all aspects of your value proposition, business model and strategy, and equip you with the skills and capabilities to develop your innovation, win more work and grow your business.

RISE will incorporate a parallel corporate stream supporting industry innovation collaboration, and connect entrepreneurs with major operators and potential corporate partnerships to accelerate their business growth.

At this launch event, you will find out more about the program and how you can get involved, hear success stories from previous corporate participants and accelerator alumni, and take advantage of the industry networking opportunity.
