The final event. Top 10 teams will be invited to live pitch to a panel of judges, answer their questions and receive prizes.
Each workshop will consist of interactive activities from 1 to 3.30 pm. After each workshop, teams will have the opportunity to continue working on their ideas and progress.
Not at all! It's great if you have an idea or project already, but also completely fine if not. We'll allow plenty of time for you to meet other participants and come up with ideas.
Unfortunately, no. Entrepreneurship is a team sport and we require that you have at least 2 members and a maximum of 5.
Register as individual below and come to our online orientation session on August 1, 12pm-1pm, and we will leave time for people without teams to meet each other and potentially form teams.
Each team must have a current ANU, UC, UNSW Canberra, CSIRO, AIE or CIT student or staff member active througout the entire competition.
We estimate the commitment to be 2 hours per week over the two week competition on top of the workshops, spent on working on your projects. Of course, keen innovators are able to put in more time if they want!
Unfortunately, due to the highly practical and hands on nature of the workshops, we are unable to record and share these. We understand that people can't always make every session, but to get the most out of the workshops to progress your entrepreneurial ideas, we encourage you to ensure that at least one other person from your team can attend in-person for all the workshops. CBRIN will not be facilitating a hybrid event on the day.
Each team must have a current student or staff member (ANU, UC, UNSW Canberra, CIT or CSIRO) and you must have a team of between 2 and 5 members to register. By registering, you agree with the Rules of Engagement.
Individuals must register before 5 pm on 1 August 2024, with teams to be registered by 5pm on 5 August 2024.
We acknowledge the Ngunnawal people as traditional custodians of the ACT and recognise any other people or families with connection to the lands of the ACT and region. We acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region.
