Ventures Industry Challenge Breakfasts: 2 September (in person) FULL

As part of the 2020 Ventures Industry Challenge we will be hosting fortnightly in person breakfasts.

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?

Ventures Industry Challenge Breakfasts are an opportunity for you and your team to:

• Check in with Ventures staff
• Meet other teams
• See how other teams are going
• Q&A about the Challenge
• Discuss your entrepreneurial journey

For this session, bring your idea that you are working on for the Challenge.

Your host for the Ventures Industry Challenge Breakfasts is Tomas Piccinini

Tomas is a program officer with UQ’s Ventures team. He leads and coordinates the design and delivery of entrepreneurship and design thinking programs (Social Enterprise, Start-up Academy and the high-school oriented Discovery workshops). Before joining the Ventures team, he studied a Master of Business at UQ, specialising in Social Impact & Sustainability and was a teaching assistant for Social Entrepreneurship and System Dynamics courses at the UQ Business School.
