Scalare Partners and the Centre for Asian-Australian Leadership at the Australian National University (ANU) are partnering to deliver an interactive webinar on 16 December 2021, focused on increasing gender balance and cultural diversity representation and leadership in entrepreneurship, venture capital, and technology and innovation space.
The future of Australian entrepreneurship couldn't be brighter – all thanks to the efforts of our diverse and inclusive future-focused founders and forward-thinking entrepreneurs at home and abroad.
It is through their vision, ingenuity and creativity which instil a new sense of hope and optimism for aspiring entrepreneurs of diverse and inclusive backgrounds.
Some of these game-changers will be joining a panel of leaders and entrepreneurs on 16 December for an online event hosted by Scalare Partners and the Centre for Asian-Australian Leadership (CAAL) at ANU.
The free and interactive webinar will see Jenny Li, Partner at Scalare Partners, contributing to discussions around the ways diversity can be a key driver and a critical success factor that boosts innovation and unlocks opportunities.
We need to prioritise and invest in the next generation of diverse and inclusive founders and entrepreneurs with the financial capital and networking support to get them started on their entrepreneurial journeys.
The lineup of panellists from Australia and around the world will also include Eelee Lua, the Head of Global Partnerships at AsiaVerify; Neil Yeoh, Founder and CEO of OnePointFive; and Aivee Robinson, Co-Founder of Catalyser. The online session will be moderated by Geraldine Chin Moody, Co-Founder and Executive Director of 5H Values Capital.
