- A structured pathway towards international expansion
Who is it for?
The Masterclass is suitable for companies operating across a broad range of cleantech sectors, including circular economy and recycling, renewable energy, clean transport and mobility, energy storage and batteries, hydrogen and clean fuels, water and environmental technologies, sustainable manufacturing, climate technology and software, agriculture technology, carbon management and reporting, and sustainable infrastructure and built environment solutions — and more.
The program is primarily targeted at companies that have moved beyond the idea stage and demonstrated some level of commercial validation. Businesses with existing customers, revenue, pilot projects or proven technology are likely to gain the greatest value from the program.
Cost
The Masterclass program is available for $200, or included as part of a paid 2026 Victorian Cleantech Cluster membership.
Will I need to give up equity?
No. The Masterclass is here to support your journey and equip you with the right tools to help propel your Victorian cleantech company onto the global stage. You may meet people along the way who are keen to support your growth, but any decision to accept investment in exchange for equity remains entirely yours.
