Audacious Student Startup Showcase

Bring your loudest applause, your undivided attention, and your phone (yes, your phone!) and join us for the Audacious Student Showcase on Wednesday, September 18, at the Hub, at Otago Polytechnic. 

It’s time again for us to cheer for the hard mahi and creativity of University of Otago and Otago Polytechnic students who are pitching at the end of 2024’s Audacious programme.

Since April, these awesome ākonga have been working extra hard validating and de-risking (click here to learn more about that!) their ideas and at the showcase, you'll get a chance to see what they have been up to and to support some of the newest Dunedin startups, social enterprises, & not-for-profits!

Quick recap in case you didn’t know: Audacious is a free program open to all Dunedin tertiary students, regardless of their field of study. Students learn the ins and outs of starting a business, gaining skills that can support them in wherever they go next; whether that's into a job, helping out their local community, or in a business of their own.

We’re also excited to announce that this year’s showcase will include stalls for students to further display what they’ve been working on! This is a great opportunity for the public to interact with student entrepreneurs and see what wicked stuff they’ve been working on.

Please RSVP to secure your spot.
