Ventures Industry Challenge mentor appointments: 7 September

As part of the 2020 Ventures Industry Challenge we will be inviting a number of industry mentors for you to book a 30-minute private mentoring session with.

This year's challenge focuses on the problems and opportunities for the global water industry:

While the global population continues to grow, access to fresh water has become increasingly scarce. How can we use water resource management and sustainability to maintain the lives and industries of communities around the world?

By participating in the mentor sessions you will be able to:

• showcase your entrepreneurial skills to industry experts,
• build your networks,
• strengthen your entrepreneurial skills, and
• address a real problem worth solving,
