At the Academy of Entrepreneurs, we are incredibly passionate about empowering the next generation of leaders through entrepreneurship and innovation. Our CEO has always been committed to supporting women in business and believes in the power of social entrepreneurship. So when the Head of Partnerships reached out to us about partnering with Broken Bay Catholic School in Chatswood, we couldn’t say YES fast enough!
To make the experience even more extraordinary, we invited Google to co-deliver the program, and two talented staff members from Amazon graciously agreed to serve as judges for the final pitch competition. This collaboration with industry giants provided the students with invaluable insights into the world of tech and entrepreneurship.
