KPMG and Stone & Chalk have joined forces together to launch the Future Technology Program, to help people like you thrive and get there faster. Recipients will receive complimentary residency for 12 months at one of Stone & Chalk’s startup hubs located nationally in the heart of Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide.

  • Are you a startup wanting to be more efficient, effective, visible, and resilient?
  • Are you an innovative business wanting to make a positive sustainable difference with purpose?
  • Are you using game changing technology to design or manage improvements and disrupt industries?
  • Do you want to collaborate with others and learn from those who have been before you?

Apply for the Future Technology Program today and get the best of both worlds. Be part of the largest innovation community in Australia at Stone & Chalk and access KPMG experts, knowledge, and wisdom that will help you disrupt, rather than be disrupted.
