The countdown to the Cools has begun.
From the hundreds of applications we received this year, this impressive posse has been selected as our Top 100 Coolest Companies in Australia.
What next?
On 22 February 2018, super-rad representatives from our bodaciously bad-ass Cool Company Top 100 will gather in Melbourne to celebrate their achievements and watch the category winners (and Coolest Company 2017) for the 2017 program unveiled.
If you’re on the list, you have much to celebrate!
