Each year, Startup Muster seeks to better understand the progress, challenges and opportunities facing Australian startups, helping inform future support for the startup ecosystem.
The annual survey is open to startup founders and the wide range of organisations supporting them, including educators, investors, accelerators, incubators, coworking spaces, service providers, government bodies and innovation precincts.
At IP Australia, our purpose is to enable Australians to benefit from great ideas by providing a world-leading IP system. Our public education and engagement resources help individuals and small business owners, including startups, understand how IP rights can protect value, support commercialisation and contribute to growth.
Our support of Startup Muster 2026 and the resulting report will help IP Australia better understand startup awareness, behaviours and needs.
These insights will inform our practical education, guidance and support, which in turn, can then help individuals and business owners make informed decisions about their IP and bring their great ideas to life.
Complete the Startup Muster 2026 survey before it closes on 24 August 2026 and help contribute to a comprehensive picture of the Australian startup ecosystem.
