Business Information Session - Uptown Accelerator Round 3

The Uptown Accelerator is an innovative, first-of-its-kind program which aims to unlock the potential of going-out districts across urban centres by:

empowering groups of businesses to collaboratively develop their district identity; and
equipping them with the skills and networks to attract partners and consumers to their District.

Applications for Round 3 of the Accelerator are open now until 22nd May.

If you want to unlock the potential of your area as a unique and vibrant going-out district, this program is for you.

As part of the Accelerator, you will participate in a series of free workshops and coaching to accelerate your district’s development, covering skills such as:

Visioning: crafting a collaborative vision, identity and story for your District.
Branding: transforming this vision into a recognisable brand.
Developing a business model: leveraging your District’s vision and brand to identify, create and attract partnership opportunities.
Governance: establishing an appropriate legal entity structure for your District.
Grant writing: developing skills in finding and applying for funding opportunities.
Pitching: showcasing your District to potential collaborators and partners.

The Accelerator culminates with the District Showcase, a high-profile event in which your team is given the opportunity to pitch your District vision to an audience of potential partners and collaborators.

Come along to an information session to learn more about the Accelerator, what’s in it for businesses, and how you can apply.
