Swyvl Wraps Up Core Start 2024 with Judges Choice Award

Last night the Swyvl team wrapped up a big 12 weeks as part of the Core Start Innovation Program - and we’re thrilled to share that we took home the Judges Choice Award at the Core Start Ideas Night.

Core Start is a national program designed to support early-stage startups working on the future of energy and resources. Over the course of three months, we joined a brilliant cohort of founders from across Australia to sharpen our business model, connect with industry and refine our go-to-market strategy - all with expert guidance from the Core Innovation Hub team and their partners. You can learn more about the program here: corehub.com.au/start

It was an energising, challenging and incredibly valuable experience and we’re proud to have been the only South Australian company in the 2024 cohort.
