Australian Innovators' Challenge 2020

It’s here! We are proud to partner with Finder to launch the Australian Innovators’ Challenge for 2020.

— WHAT IS AIC? —

The Australian Innovators’ Challenge is a two-week online case competition made for high school students who are passionate about creating social change through entrepreneurship 💪 

Over two weeks, you and your friends will get the opportunity to learn in-depth entrepreneurial skills, from problem-solving, customer development, product development to pitching - all completely online and taught by our industry leaders. Also, you will be paired with a member of the Generation Entrepreneur team so you will have someone backing you the whole time.

By the end of the two weeks and in true startup style, the competition will come down to a final Shark Tank style recorded pitch. Our judges will evaluate all of the pitches and conduct a live Q&A before choosing a final champion!

And yes... there are prizes! 🎉

— ABOUT THE CASE —

This year, we are challenging you to build a business addressing the topic of personal finance. 

Studies show that...

• 1 in 4 Australians are dissatisfied with their financial situation
• 77% Australians have financial regrets, top 3 being behaviour related (not saving, investing or budgeting) 
• 84% of young people say that they feel pressured to spend money in order to keep up with friends
