Rather than compete with start-ups from a range of different industries, why not get sector-specific?

There are several competitions for start-ups within a certain industry, with the Australian Clean Technologies Competition being a good example of how a niche product or service can be recognised.

More than 100 companies entered last year, with seven named as finalists.
