Our Supporters

Teams from four (4) universities participated in the YES Australia Pilot Program in 2025.

Here's what they had to say:

  • “Participating in the Yes Australia program was a transformative learning experience that ignited my imagination and revealed opportunities I had never envisioned.”

  • "Participating in the YES Australia program was an invaluable experience - learning from global venture capital experts over 8 weeks and ultimately winning the pitch competition validated both our Asset Management solution's business model and our team's ability to articulate its value proposition to investors.“

  • “The guest speakers were fabulous. I especially enjoyed hearing from people who have genuine experience in commercialisation and hearing their firsthand recounts of how that looked for them.” 

  • “I would definitely recommend the YES Australia program to others.”

  • “I really loved the lectures about IP, they provided a broader idea about the IP process.”
