In just over a month, over 70 emerging Indigenous entrepreneurs will descend on Sydney Startup Hub for 48 hours of big ideas and incredible mentorship.
Minderoo Foundation’s Generation One initiative is proud to announce the inaugural “Dream Summit”. A two-day intensive, skill-building and leadership program, bringing together emerging Indigenous entrepreneurs from across the country.
From 12-13th September, participants will work with a community of experienced mentors to grow their businesses. By day two, the entrepreneurs will be ready to pitch their ideas before a panel of judges, with the opportunity to receive up to $45,000 of seed funding to turn their dream into a reality.
The event will host prominent keynote speakers, mentors and Dream Summit community partners and sponsors, providing participants with unparalleled access to some of the top thinkers in Australia.
Les Delaforce, head of Dream Summit’s Indigenous Advisory Group (IAG), is looking forward to the event.
“Nothing of Dream Summit’s scale has ever been run specifically for Indigenous entrepreneurs in Australia.” Mr Delaforce said.
“The summit will provide participants with the skills and support they need to take their ideas to the next level. The Gen One team and the IAG have been working hard to ensure Dream Summit is an incredible experience for all involved. I’m excited to be apart of it!”
