TAKE YOUR BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Discover how GPG and RMIT Activator can help your business achieve sustainable growth and success

Applications are now open for GPG x RMIT Activator Regional Innovation Accelerator program – a FREE program designed for businesses that are based in, serve customers in, or source supplies from the vibrant region stretching from Warrnambool to Ballarat, Geelong, and along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria.

Over the course of 10 weeks you can connect with expert advisors, grow your network, and pitch your idea for a chance to win a share of the $10,000 cash grant pool

We're for looking for innovative applicants who have demonstrated commercial potential, with early customers or pilot agreements in place to test your idea in the real world. You may not be ready for a big expansion yet, but this is a great opportunity to team up with the right partners who can help turn your idea into something bigger.
