South West Sydney’s next generation of entrepreneurs will take the stage in front of high-profile government and industry leaders at Pitch Night South West in Bankstown tonight.
From AI tools that help protect academic integrity to virtual mental health clinics, dementia support technology and smart water treatment systems, this year’s finalists are applying innovation to solve real-world challenges.
Now in its third year, the event hosted by UNSW Founders, offers a platform for emerging entrepreneurs to showcase their ventures while competing for a share in prize funding to help accelerate their startups.
