Accelerating Climate Innovation: 2024 Global Growth Program Launches with 23 Australian Climate Tech Companies

We are thrilled to announce the 2024 cohort of our Global Growth Program!

Designed for high growth climate tech businesses with global ambitions, the Global Growth Program (GGP) is a 9-month program tailored to support scalable Australian climate tech solutions prepare for and expand into new international markets. Focussed on providing high-value, hands-on sustained support, the program centres around three core components to accelerate global growth: Readiness to scale, international market entry, and global growth funding.

The selection of these 23 companies underscores Australia’s potential to lead the charge in developing practical, scalable solutions to address pressing environmental issues. Among the cohort of companies, a wide range of innovative solutions is on display, from almost all sectors of climate tech. You can learn more about the cohort here, but below is a short overview of each company, and their LinkedIn - you can follow each online to keep updated on their progress.

The GGP emphasises collaboration and bespoke support as a key to succeeding in global markets. By connecting startups with mentors, investors, and industry leaders, the GGP provides invaluable resources to help these companies scale their impact. Through this ecosystem of support, participating startups are poised to drive meaningful change and make a tangible difference. 

There are several key markets the cohort is targeting. The US is the startup capital of the world, with climate tech hubs in places including San Francisco, New York, Colorado and Texas. The EU and UK have advanced policy and regulation, which is accelerating customer demand. And ASEAN, as well as India, is closer to home, and are huge emerging markets with large populations and an increasing awareness of the need to implement practical climate solutions.

By supporting and amplifying the efforts of these startups, we can move closer to a more sustainable, resilient world for generations to come.

If you’re interested in connecting with the cohort as a customer, investor or supporter, or engaging with the GGP more broadly, you can reach out to Olivia Utharntharm (Program Manager) at olivia@climatesalad.com
