Unearthing Your Business Potential – Tuesday August 28th (12pm – 2pm)
Can the Great South Coast Region be the Silicon Valley of agriculture, health or energy?
$284,000 is being made available to foster a new generation of entrepreneurs in South-West Victoria.
The Victorian Government’s Launch Vic funding which was announced in July, will help create a 12-month program across the Warrnambool, Moyne and Corangamite municipalities.
The program, known as Unearthed, will speed up the process of developing and scaling a business idea, sometimes referred to as a “business accelerator”, as well as meetups, intensive workshops, weekly masterclasses and one-on-one mentoring with industry experts.
Businesses from across the Great South Coast who are interested in this space are invited to attend the FREE Unearthing Your Business Potential event being held on Tuesday August 28th as part of this year’s Small Business Festival.
Hear from industry leaders Runway who will be in town to talk about the start-up space, their work around Victoria and the exciting opportunities coming to the Great South Coast region for businesses to be a part of.
Perfect for those looking to build upon their business ideas or products, attendees will hear from expert guest speakers on how to build your business idea into a reality and what techniques can help you along your exciting journey.
Light lunch provided.
