The UTS Faculty of Engineering and IT is funding students or student teams to participate in the Techcelerator, a Deep Tech Early-Stage Accelerator designed to enhance student prototyping skills.

This free, co-curricular, 4-month program is focused on facilitating the development of a working prototype. Participants are given access to UTS's world-class facilities, mentors, technical experts and funding to enable prototyping and market testing of deep technologies.

Up to $10,000 of funding is awarded to the top students or student teams competing in the Techcelerator program. Additionally, there will be surprising prizes at the demo-day presentations.

 

Benefits

The program offers students the opportunity to improve their prototyping and customer validation skills. All Techcelerator program activities are free to students and do not take any equity from their project.
