Find My Sustainable Startup Idea

Are you passionate about sustainability and building a greener future? Got a great idea that you just keep forgetting to do something about? We're teaming up with the UTS Startups to create more ideas that contribute to the green recovery.

The Find My Sustainable Startup Idea challenge, supported by the NSW Deep Green Biotech Hub, inspires students to develop startup ideas with a commitment to environmental sustainability to articulate the UVP (unique value proposition) that propels their business ideas to the forefront of our deep green future.

Entries from all faculties and study areas are encouraged, whether it's simply a concept that can be further developed, or an established business with traction. We can all take our next step in sustainability.

  • Additional prizes to be announced soon.
