Founders entering the Techstars Adelaide accelerator will have access to two great start-up minds dedicated to helping them do more, faster.” The program, slated to kick off in July, will connect 10 start-ups from all over the world to a network of community founders, mentors, investors, and corporate partners including seven of the world’s top defence industry companies: BAE, Thales, Austal, SAAB, ASC, Rheinmetall and DCNS. “I’m looking for companies that will be of interest to the Australian military, but also have a broader purpose,” Mr Gold told News Corp. “I expect there’ll be some great South Australian companies, but we will almost certainly be bringing some companies here from around the world. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for founders who want to develop and commercialise technologies such as internet of things, big data, sensors, drones and robotics.”
