MACQUARIE TECHNOLOGY BUSINESS INCUBATOR (MTBI)

Successfully incubating new businesses.

For innovators and inventors, creating the new technology is the easy part. The real challenges arise when trying to convert a good idea into a marketable and profitable business.

To be successful, a business must bring together people, resources and money to compete against existing market players and to convince customers to buy their product. For the start up technology entrepreneur, many commercial challenges must be addressed simultaneously:

• How do I find customers?
• How do I find employees?
• How do I fund the business before I start to sell my product?

How Can MTBI Help You?

For the new business, the time of highest risk occurs at the beginning of the commercialisation cycle. What is needed is a helping hand to guide the new entrepreneur through their process.

MTBI provides a range of low cost, low commitment physical resources (office space and admin) to provide the entrepreneur with a viable commercial presence whilst developing new enterprises.

MTBI also provides a range of services such as experienced coaches and mentors and legal and professional advisors. In addition, MTBI has access to a network of invaluable contacts and institutions (govt and private) to assist in connecting the new business into the global economy.

MTBI can help the new entrepreneur to rapidly build a robust, sustainable enterprise around their technology and greatly enhance their chances of commercial success.
