a article highlighting the top 20 Australian startups of 2023,  global consultancy KPMG shed light on the thriving entrepreneurial landscape down under.

Successful Australian startups play a pivotal role in contributing to the economy. They drive innovation, create employment opportunities, and often disrupt traditional industries, promoting growth and competition. These startups infuse new technologies, products, and services into the market, positioning Australia as a forward-thinking player in the global economy.

Over the years, the investment landscape for startups has witnessed significant evolution. Initially, funding for startups was relatively scarce, hindering their growth and potential.

However, in recent times, there has been a notable surge in investment, both from local and international investors. This shift can be attributed to various factors, including government initiatives, increased venture capital interest, a burgeoning pool of skilled entrepreneurs, and successful exits from earlier startups, instilling confidence in the ecosystem.

Australia has emerged as an increasingly attractive destination for startup investments on the global stage. Several factors contribute to this allure.

Australia boasts a highly educated workforce and a culture of innovation, fostering a conducive environment for startups to thrive. Additionally, the country offers various grants, tax incentives, and incubator programs, encouraging entrepreneurship and attracting both talent and capital from around the world.

Tesla cut the U.S. prices of its Model Y, Model X and Model S vehicles by $2,000 each, days after the first-quarter deliveries of the world’s most valuable automaker missed market expectations.

Elon Musk’s electric-vehicle (EV) maker lowered the prices for its Model Y base variant to $42,990, while the long-range and performance variants are now priced at $47,990 and $51,490, respectively, according to its website.

The basic version of the Model S now costs $72,990 and its plaid variant $87,990. The Model X base variant now costs $77,990 and its plaid variant is priced at $92,900.
Tesla North America also said in a post on X said it would end its referral program benefits in all markets after April 30.

Referral program allows buyers to get extra incentives through referrals from existing customers, a strategy long used by traditional automakers to boost sales.

Musk has postponed a planned trip to India where he was to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and announce plans to enter the South Asian market, Reuters reported on Saturday.
On Monday Reuters reported, citing an internal memo, that the EV maker was laying off more than 10% of its global workforce.
Earlier this month Reuters reported the EV maker had canceled a long-promised inexpensive car, expected to cost $25,000, that investors had been counting on to drive mass-market growth.
The EV maker reported this month that its global vehicle deliveries in the first quarter fell for the first time in nearly four years, as price cuts failed to stir demand.

Tesla is to report first-quarter earnings on Tuesday.
