GAP BLITZ Showcase 2025

CSIRO's GAP BLITZ Program aims to help founders close the gap in startup business performance and prepare them for growth through highly targeted insights, coaching and program support.

During the 12 week program, 8 startups dove deep into the heart of their business and developed a personalised plan to push through barriers to growth.

On Tuesday 13 May 2025, these teams will tell the story of their journey; where they started, where the journey took them, what were the unexpected findings, and their plans for what’s next.

The Showcase will be held at the Business & Event Centre – located in the heart of the Sydney CBD at Level 6, 8 Chifley Square (next door to 52 Martin Place).

Register now to join the conversation.
