Applications for our 2024 Xccelerate program are now closed.   We had a record number of applications, painting an impressive picture of the AI & Data startup ecosystem.   The Xccelerate team is now reviewing applications and will shortlist a handful of startups to join us for a Community Day, where we will dive deep into what it truly means to partner with a corporate like Commonwealth Bank.   More details to come, but we're pleased to reveal our Community Day keynote speaker is AI expert, mentor, and Director of Europa Labs, Kendra Vant. Kendra has spent her career creating and leading AI, digital, and tech teams and we can’t wait to have her bestow this knowledge and expertise onto the shortlisted teams (and we can’t wait to meet her in person, either!)
