Hatch: Taronga Accelerator Program Pitch Event 2024

Join us for the Hatch: Taronga Accelerator Program Pitch Event 2024 to hear from our inspiring founders about their brilliant initiatives they are hatching for the planet.

From creating circular economies, diverting waste from landfill, regenerating nature and reducing packaging waste, our six teams have been working hard to create a more sustainable and hopeful future. Come and witness their passion, commitment and perseverance to drive these solutions forward.

The Hatch 2024 teams are:

• ZeroTag: A refill management platform that connects online refill brands with consumers to avoid waste across the value chain.
• Woop Woop for Nature: Catalysing practical action for nature by transforming the way restoration is delivered, so that together we can grow a brighter future for everyone.
• Pledge for the Planet: Motivates collective climate action via community and sports events to restore our planet for future generations. They make climate action simple, fun and tangible via a series of "Missions" which you can get involved with to motivate change to protect our planet within your community.
• The Groundswell Collective – Tiny Forests: Small yet complete ecosystems, Tiny Forests boast a plethora of environmental and social benefits that bring communities together in a unique and inspiring way.
• Circular PV Alliance: Revolutionising the solar industry through sustainable and circular practices. Offering a unifying voice that drives environmental stewardship, economic growth, and social responsibility within the solar sector, whilst tackling solar PV waste.
• Medical Pantry: Providing sustainable healthcare to all - big and small. We collect surplus unused medical supplies destined for landfill and deliver them to animal rescues across Australia.

Please join us from 5:30pm for some light refreshments with the Pitch Event kicking off at 6:30pm.

This pitch event is your chance to learn more about these six exciting initiatives and hear from, and connect with, the founders. We will also be announcing the successful initiative chosen by an external judging panel to receive $50,000. One initiative will also be in for a chance to win the $5,000 People’s Choice Award as voted by attendees on the night!

This event is proudly supported by our generous donors BridgeLane Foundation, Wollemi Capital Group, Alexandra Holcomb and Auxilium Foundation.
