Program Partners

The Study Melbourne Future Founders Program team are grateful to be able to work and collaborate with so many outstanding organisations, to deliver an inspiring and interactive program for international students and aspiring founders.

The program is brought to you by Study Melbourne and StartSpace, who have worked together to deliver the annual program since the very first digital festival held in 2020.

The 2023 Future Founders Pitch Competition is proudly sponsored by Scape.

Other organisations that support the program come from industry, the startup ecosystem, education organisations and student services who helped to engage international students and spread the word about the program. 

Thank you to all these wonderful supporters, without which the program would not succeed.
