The Sirius programme provides talented graduate entrepreneurs with an opportunity to win a place at a leading UK accelerator, obtain mentoring, financial support and the possibility of a visa endorsement. Enterprises are 100 percent owned by graduate teams, with no equity taken.

The second round of UKTI's Sirius Programme is open, inviting talented graduates with world-class start-up ideas to make the UK their home.

Successful Sirius Programme applicants will receive approximately A$20,000 in funding plus a place on a top start-up accelerator and help in relocating to the UK.

The first year of the Programme in 2013 saw 40 successful teams of entrepreneurs relocate to the UK, including two Australians, Jonathon Spanos of innovative woollen sports shoe company ToBe and James Tilbury, co-founder of Carbon Analytics.

Applications close 30 June 2014.
