MELBOURNE – Australian fashion company Country Road has launched a AU$1.5 million climate fund with the view to financially backing start-ups via new incubator and accelerator programmes.
Innovators are encouraged to apply by 1st December to be in with a chance of being selected and will be required to provide a budget outlining their incomings and outgoings, in addition to an explanation of how they’d utilise a grant.
