Simplot Ignite food-tech accelerator<\/a> in a few weeks, housing a number of startups going through the program.<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a slightly new direction for us and it highlights for current and future residents that if they\u2019ve got something new, exciting and innovative that needs space, they can talk to us,\u201d Balla says.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf someone comes in with another type of accelerator outside of our previous experience then we\u2019d love to see them.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re open to anyone that\u2019s hoping to build something and help people.\u201d<\/p>\n
In another new partnership, Inspire9 will also be working with health consultancy PHW to \u201creimagine\u201d its communal work areas in order to make the experience better for its inhabitants.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now we\u2019re very full so being able to fit more people that are looking for space is really exciting,\u201d Balla says.<\/p>\n
Balla has the backing of Victorian minister for small business, innovation and trade Philip Dalidakis.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s great that Inspire9 have found Mark, who I\u2019m sure will do great things for the company,\u201d Dalidakis says.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want Victoria to be the location of choice for startups worldwide and as a homegrown success story Inspire9 is a great example of how bright ideas can grow and expand into globally competitive businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n
