INDIA + AUSTRALIA RISE ACCELERATOR

PAX: 20

LOCATION: Multiple Locations

The Immersion Weeks brought together ambitious startups from India and Australia for two dynamic, week-long programs - Round One in Sydney and Round Two in Brisbane - designed to help founders launch, learn, and build in a cross-cultural environment. Across both cities, carefully selected venues created an inspiring backdrop for collaboration, connection, and innovation.

Round One: Sydney
In Sydney, locations were chosen not just for practicality, but for their meaning. The Australian Chamber Orchestraoffered breathtaking views of the Harbour Bridge—an unforgettable first impression for our international guests. Sessions at the Art Gallery of NSW brought a creative energy and sense of place, while venues like the Greenhouse Tech Huband Sydney Startup Hub, powered by Investment NSW, delivered the buzz and excitement of Australia’s startup ecosystem in full swing.

Round Two: Brisbane
In Brisbane, the momentum continued with an equally impactful line-up. Events at the State Library of Queensland, Brisbane Powerhouse, and the University of Queensland showcased innovation, technology, and culture in uniquely Queensland settings—blending local creativity with global ambition.

Behind the scenes, we worked closely with both the Australian and Indian cohorts to provide seamless support across travel, accommodation, and cultural orientation—helping guests feel at home in a new country while focusing on the experience ahead.

With multiple venues, tight schedules, and two cities in play, on-the-ground coordination was key. From smooth transitions to spotlight moments, every detail was designed to reflect Australian hospitality and ensure a flawless and unforgettable experience across both weeks.
