Curtin Ignition is suited to founders of early stage, high-growth business ventures, and people with new ideas that have potential to become high- growth, worldwide businesses.

The Program comprises of a blend of keynote and workshop teaching sessions, small group mentoring, panel, clinic and networking sessions. Delegates prepare a 10-minute business plan pitch over the course of the program, which they deliver to an expert panel and receive feedback on the last day of the program. All delegates must have a viable concept for a new business or an established early stage venture. The Program runs from Sunday 26 August through to Friday 31 August in Perth, Western Australia.
