The University of Queensland’s budding entrepreneurs will be encouraged to pursue their dreams, thanks to a new prize endowed by a $125,000 gift from a UQ alumnus.
The Shane Chidgzey Young Entrepreneurs Prize will be an annual $5000 award given to the best performing startup in UQ’s ilab Germinate startup accelerator program.
Mr Chidgzey, a UQ Business School alumnus and the founder of iPLAN Consulting, said supporting the entrepreneurship and innovation space was a cause close to his heart.
