This year’s Queensland Women in Climate Tech Fellowship has united another remarkable group of Queensland-based women founders for an 8-week program, dedicated to fostering their growth and deepening their industry connections.
Through mentorship, workshops, and networking events, the fellowship provides tools, knowledge and support to help the cohort to scale their businesses and to have an impact.

As the 2024 Queensland Women in Climate Tech Fellowship wraps up, the positive impact of this initiative on the climate tech ecosystem is already becoming clear. Throughout the program, these women founders have gained valuable support to advance their ventures, highlighting the essential role that diversity and inclusivity play in fostering innovation and progress. This fellowship has not only supported their growth but also emphasized the importance of creating a more inclusive environment within the climate tech industry, where diverse perspectives contribute to meaningful solutions.
The Queensland Women in Climate Tech Fellowship is made possible through the generous support of the Queensland Government, through the Office of the Queensland Chief Entrepreneur, Advance Queensland, and Trade and Investment Queensland.
