Start-up scene: Out of this world ambition from the land down under

Australia is home to start-up success stories ranging from Atlassian to Canva. Its community attributes the sheer “scrappiness” of the country’s founders to being exactly what sets them apart from their global peers. Emerging is a new wave that includes Gilmour Space Technologies, with its sights set on putting humans on the moon.

When Atlassian first came onto the scene 20 years ago, it was a tech company that hardly anyone had heard of. The Australian start-up however, was well known in its sector for its software tools such as Confluence and Jira, which have come to constitute core business components used by the likes of National Australia Bank (NAB), Cisco, and some other 200,000 companies around the world.
