UQ’s ilab premier early stage accelerator program, offers undergrads, postgrads, researchers and young alumni with a unique business or social enterprise idea with high growth potential, to grow their idea in an intensive program.

The Germinate Accelerator has now been updated and comes with bigger ambitions, expectations and resources!

It offers a program of workshops, one-on-one mentoring by our entrepreneur(s) in residence, partner deals, desk space and introductions to take your developing idea to that next level. Germinate will be running over 6 months, once a year and offer equity-free grant money to each team ($20,000).

ilab’s Startup Builder program is open for any student, post grad, researcher or recent alumni who just want to start building their startup in a supportive space, with mentors and other young founders.

ilab also offers co-working space, mentorship opportunities, networking and workshops for startups post seed-funding stage at our St Lucia and Long Pocket campuses.
