The Sydney Landing Pad programme aims to attract startups from around the world to explore Australia as a potential market for expansion

The Sydney Landing Pad, an initiative by the City of Sydney in partnership with Asia-focussed Australian startup hub Haymarket HQ, has announced the eight Asia Pacific startups that are set to participate in the first cohort of their programme.

The Sydney Landing Pad is a 90-day programme that aims to attract companies from around the world to explore Australia as a potential market for expansion, with the goal to draw “millions of dollars” in business investment to the city.

The programme is not limited to tech companies and does not take any equity from the participating companies.

“We’re proud to support Haymarket HQ in developing their international landing pad programme, which will provide support for entrepreneurs from Asia to understand and grow in Sydney,” Lord Mayor Clover Moore said in a press statement.
