Ballarat Export-ready
Incubator

The Ballarat Export-ready Incubator supported startup and early-stage business owners to build the knowledge and confidence needed to explore international markets.

 

Funded by the Australian government and delivered over five months for two years, the program focused on helping local businesses understand how to position their products and services for global opportunities.

​

Fifteen businesses were selected each year to participate in the program. Participants attended five full-day workshops, held monthly from August to December, led by expert facilitators with experience in international trade and business growth.

​

In addition to the in-person workshops, each participant received six one-to-one business coaching sessions delivered online or in person. These sessions provided tailored advice, guidance and support aligned with the needs of each business.

 

Participants also undertook self-paced learning activities supported by their coach to strengthen their understanding of export readiness and international business development.

 

The program created opportunities for participants to connect with other startup and early-stage businesses, local business organisations and regional accelerator programs.

 

These connections helped strengthen the local entrepreneurial ecosystem and supported businesses considering future expansion into global markets.​

This program was made possible with funding from the
Australian Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources

Proudly supported by Federation University and City of Ballarat.
