Introducing EY Foundry

To help entrepreneurs realize their start-up dreams, EY introduces EY Foundry, a dedicated virtual incubator operating across Oceania and ASEAN markets.

EY Foundry wants to collaborate with the very best start-ups that have unique application to the professional services industry and their clients. We are keen to hear from start-ups looking to drive rapid growth through collaborative activities with our tax, law and people advisory teams. Within our business, there are common areas of opportunity to help deliver maximum impact, growth and value to our staff, clients and the broader community.

► The program includes interactive workshops, based on deep EY insights of the business world and a wealth of experience from technology collaborators.

► EY Foundry participants can also access free Microsoft Azure credits of up to US$150,000. 

EY Foundry is now located across Oceania (Australia and New Zealand) and ASEAN (Cambodia, Guam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam) to deliver greater connectivity and more cross-border growth opportunities for start-ups.

Please contact a team member if you are interested in learning more about EY Foundry.
