Hacking4Allies (Australia)

H4XLabs for Australian companies

Program Overview

Hacking4Allies (Australia) accelerates Australian companies who are solving public sector challenges that are of mutual interest to Australia and the United States. The first international H4Allies cohort consisted of Deep Tech startups from Norway. For our international startups, we focus on strategies to raise funds, find customers and build their presence in the US market.

Australian Pilot Program

In 2022 BMNT Australia in partnership with Austrade and BMNT Inc. are offering an accelerated H4Allies program as part of a pilot activity to explore and developing H4XLabs in the Australian context. The pilot program will focus on dual-use technologies and services with a focus on the national security domain.

Selected companies will undertake a three phase program:

  • Phase 1: Bootcamp (education and awareness) - up to 20 companies

  • Phase 2: Acceleration (customised coaching) - up to four companies

  • Phase 3: Targeted stakeholder engagement (in the USA October 2022)*

* Note: participating companies will be required to independently fund travel to the USA or make a separate grant application
