Local technology startups are set to boost their growth with Techstars, a global investment business providing access to capital, one-on-one mentorship and programming for early-stage entrepreneurs, joining Sydney\u2019s Tech Central district.

\u201cTechstars graduates include 20 $1B+ companies, startups that went on to raise millions of dollars, employ thousands of people and list publicly on stock exchanges around the world.

\u201cThis is a major coup for Tech Central and proves that the NSW Liberal and Nationals Government\u2019s focus on growing the economy is attracting global companies and turbocharging our innovation ecosystem.\u201d\u00a0
\u00a0
Work to strengthen the NSW startup ecosystem and SME capability is one of the key pillars in the new\u00a0Emerging Digital Technologies Strategy<\/em><\/a>, which outlines how the NSW Government is growing the State\u2019s innovation ecosystem to drive long-term equitable economic growth and competitiveness on the world stage.
