Opportunities for Australian technology start-ups are set to boom with the federal government driving its innovation agenda and positioning the country as a leading disruptive technology hub.

While there is no better time in the world for innovators, the trick is getting your great ideas to market in an efficient way and set the course to become the next tech ”unicorn” on a fiercely competitive stage.

Rely on our venture tech and emerging growth companies team for advice on rapidly scaling business models and solutions for the host of challenges faced from start-up to exit.

With experience in, and a passion for, the new technologies ecosystem, we need no background briefing. On board from day one, we partner with you and offer flexible fee arrangements.

Matching Australia’s natural strengths in finance, life sciences, energy, resources, and agriculture, we have a track record for advising new entrants in the fintech, biotech, medtech, renewable technologies, resources technology and agritech spaces.

Whether your product involves cyber security, cloud services, machine learning, virtual reality, consumer apps or the Internet of Things, we have a team ready to advise on all aspects, from structuring, financing, protecting intellectual property and trade secrets, licensing and compliance, managing talent, governing and resolving disputes through to merger, acquisition, sale or IPO.

If lured by the scale and access to capital promised by other hubs like Silicon Valley, Israel, China, or Singapore, you can count on our skilled team in these and more than 100 other offices around the globe to deliver a smooth transition to your new regulatory environment. This support comes with the opportunity of introductions to angel investors, venture capitalists and investment bankers in their circle.

Overseas companies establishing a subsidiary or partnership in Australia work with our multilingual team of skilled negotiators experienced in settling businesses into Australia.

In addition, tap into Dentons' unparalleled resources for startups and emerging growth companies, including our newly expanded ventureBeyond microsite.
