Canberra Wise Women will be placing an all female team of local Canberra business owners in to this weekend’s ‘Start-Up Camp Canberra’. Start-Up Camp Canberra is once again being organised by Lighthouse Business Innovation Centre, who have offered these events since 2008.
Start-Up Camp is first and foremost an ideas competition and is open to problem-solvers, creative thinkers and ideas people from across Canberra. It takes participants from idea generation, business concept formation to pitching to a panel of judges. The theme for the 2017 event is ‘The 100 Year Life’; exploring the global challenges and innovations being faced in the Age of Longevity.
Lisa LaMaitre, Creator of Canberra Wise Women has invited six of her business friends to join her on the Canberra Wise Women team. “I’ve selectively invited experienced and savvy local business women who have a diverse range of skills and experiences to be on the team. Canberra is often only known as a government town, which is far from the truth. There is a vibrant and talented business community here in Canberra.”
