Elevating Diversity Through Entrepreneurship - FREE WEBINAR
Event description
Diversity is a key driver and critical success factor that boosts innovation and unlocks opportunities. To enhance this, we need to prioritise and invest in the next generation of diverse and inclusive founders and entrepreneurs with the financial capital and networking support to get them started on their entrepreneurial journeys.
Join our interactive webinar event which features a diverse lineup of successful entrepreneurs and impactful founders from Australia and around the world.
Hear from our group of panellists who are playing a leading role in cementing Australia's place in the age of innovation as they discuss:
- Why they chose to become an entrepreneur in their selective fields
- The obstacles they encountered and how they turned challenges into opportunities
- Their experiences and insights working in and expanding across different markets
- Their individual keys of success for other female and Asian-Australian leaders and entrepreneurs to potentially take on
- How best to increase gender and cultural diversity representation and leadership across entrepreneurship, venture capital, technology and innovation in Australia
There will also be time for you to ask questions.
This webinar is a fantastic opportunity to see the promising future of Australian entrepreneurship through the efforts of our diverse and inclusive future-focused founders and forward-thinking entrepreneurs – at home and abroad.
