Mentoring, advice and pre-seed funding for NT founders or early-stage businesses

The Ignite Program NT provides mentoring, expert advice and pre-seed support to help Northern Territory founders and early-stage businesses develop and commercialise innovative concepts.

Stream A provides a $2,000 voucher and advisory and mentorship services to prepare an innovation project plan, while Stream B provides funding to develop a minimum viable product and pitch training opportunities.

To apply for either stream, an applicant must be a legal entity, hold a valid Australian business number (ABN), be a Territory Enterprise, and not be an excluded applicant.

The program states that applicants must be an NT business with a valid ABN.

Stream A is for applicants with an innovative idea for a new business, early-stage product or service.

Stream B is for applicants with an innovation project plan who want to develop their innovation for commercialisation.
