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.
