SparkLabs Cultiv8 Opens Applications for 2024 Cleantech Accelerator
Summary
Packamama founder and CEO, Santiago Navarro, said the program had turbocharged Packamamas Australian launch, which has seen their flat, eco-friendly recycled wine bottles taken up by iconic Australian brands including Accolade Wines©, Banrock Station and Taylors, and sold in over 600 stores including Liquorland and First Choice. The GATE, located at the NSW DPI Orange Agricultural Institute, is home for the accelerator programs Week Zero kickoff and Showcase finale. Companies access a global network of mentors and experts as well as local customers, from farmers to supply chain participants to consumer outlets. Co-founder and Partner Jonathon Quigley said the programs access to such a broad range of expertise had been foundational to its success. "The companies weve supported have been exceptionally successful compared to both general startup and venture capital statistics," he said.
