Launch Pad Membership
Launch Pad offers a high quality technology business Incubation program for early stage and high-growth businesses in Western Sydney. The Incubator provides clients with modern low-cost office accommodation and in-house mentoring services to help them establish and grow.
The key to our incubation program is the opportunity to connect to the wide range of resources available within the University. This can be in the form of working with a scientist, researcher or part of a specialist project team to help develop new technology or innovation. It could also involve utilising facilities and equipment at the University, such as 3D printing machines or specialised testing equipment.
What we offer
We provide mentorship, advice, a testing ground for products, access to University’ facilities and a platform that helps startups reach their audience. Launch Pad works with business to assess their needs and connect them to the best source of assistance. Whether it is working with our team, with a government program, referring business to a specialist partner, or a mix of all of these options, support is tailored to meet individual needs.
