A cooperative alliance to build girls’ participation in entrepreneurship and STEM kicks off today as leaders from a range of sectors gather in Sydney as part of the Future Female Entrepreneurs Program.
Representatives from major international tech companies, Australian corporates, start-ups, incubators and the entrepreneurial community will discuss today how to work together to support more young women with great business ideas to become tomorrow’s entrepreneurs.
The Future Female Entrepreneurs Program aims to build an industry alliance to assist girls and young women across Australia to develop entrepreneurship and STEM-based skills essential to the future of work. It is funded by an Australian Government grant, with matched funding to be secured from industry partners.
The meeting is one of a series of foundation workshops to inform the roll out of the Program, including co-design workshops with almost 200 girls aged 10 to 18 in Darwin, Newcastle, Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne, as well as consultations with education experts.
