What is Entrepreneurs Week?

Entrepreneurs Week is an initiative of Student Entrepreneurs in partnership with other organisations committed to promoting entrepreneurship and innovation on university campuses around Melbourne.

Who can attend Entrepreneurs Week events?

Only Victorian university students can enter in the Innovators Challenge, though anyone can attend the exciting launch and finals events of the Challenge, and are encouraged to do so!

Do I need to register or RSVP?

Seating for all events is first come, first served. However, we appreciate if you pre-register so that we know the numbers for catering. Also, on the registration page you can choose to receive a free SMS reminder on the day.

What is the cost?

All events are free, and free refreshments are served at most events.

Most events are at the University of Melbourne, with a few events at Monash University (Clayton campus).
