Inglewood-based startup uDrew is touting its potential for national expansion after receiving $500,000 in funding from the federal government's Accelerating Commercialisation program earlier this month.
Accelerator programs are a practical way to encourage the early-stage tech scene, putting fledgling startups through a three-to-six-month program of mentoring, and providing equity funding.
Kimberley Pharmacy Services director and remote area pharmacist Hannah Mann has received the highest honour at this year's Business News 40under40 Awards, being named First Amongst Equals in a diverse pool of young business and community leaders.
Tom Young says interest in his udrew interactive building approvals system - the overall winner of the Mitsubishi Western Australia Innovator of the Year award - is growing ahead of its market launch early next year.
The six-month Plus Eight accelerator program reached its 2018 culmination last night, as seven startups pitched their growth and expansion plans to a sold-out audience.
