More than just a desk
With an EnergyLab coworking membership, you'll have access to centrally-located office space and a thriving community of cleantech founders in person and online.
A home and community for your startup
Base yourself at our coworking space in Sydney for access to a great range of benefits in the office and online.
Facilities
Our coworking spaces offer access to desks (dedicated and shared options available) plus all the essentials like internet, meeting rooms and kitchen facilities.
In Sydney, our premises in the historic Blackfriars School House (on the University of Technology Sydney's city campus) also include large cafe, event and outdoor areas.
A thriving online community
EnergyLab members gain access to an internal Slack workspace used by founders to share useful information, offer assistance, or just lend a sympathetic ear to fellow founders as they rise to meet the challenges of cleantech entrepreneurship.
Weekly member updates
Stay up to date and never miss an opportunity again. Every week we round up the latest news, events, resources and opportunities that cleantech entrepreneurs need to know about, and send it to our members in an easy-to digest-format.
Member meetups
Virtual meetups help keep our members kicking networking and professional development goals. We mix it up each time, with meetups ranging from workshops on topics requested by our members to more informal peer-to-peer 'startup shares'.
Member directory
Quickly connect with any other EnergyLab member by looking them up in the member directory. Unless they opt out, every member's name, company and email address is listed in the directory to make it as easy as possible for members to connect and collaborate.
Regular co-working drinks
Get to know fellow climate tech founders with a casual chat over drinks.
Resources library
Gain access to our virtual library of industry reports, legal templates, how-to guides and other useful resources, making it quicker and easier to find the information you need when you need it.
Perks and discounts
EnergyLab members enjoy a range of benefits from supporting organisations like Amazon Web Services, Google, Stripe, IBM, Cake Equity and more.
