A full day of innovation and entrepreneurship for secondary students

Teachers and parents are invited to bring students to this hands on, exciting day that celebrates innovation, creative problem-solving and entrepreneurship during Global Entrepreneurship week.

Held at The University of Sydney Business School, the full-day program consists of workshops, masterclasses and panel discussion from leaders in industry, education and academia to engage students to use entrepreneurial thinking to solve problems faced by industry and communities that align with the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
The day culminates in a national pitch competition when students from around the country pitch their brilliant business idea to a panel of judges.
