Meet the 2023 Queensland Women in Climate Tech Fellowship

The inaugural Queensland Women in Climate Tech Fellowship has brought together a cohort of nine incredible Queensland-based women founders of climate tech solutions for an 8-week program, designed to support their growth and further connect them within the industry.

Through mentorship, workshops, and networking events, the fellowship aims to equip the participants with the tools, knowledge and support needed to scale their businesses and make a lasting impact on the climate tech landscape.
