Students will take part in Lean Canvas workshops with Sam Birmingham of Start-up WA in Perth, Reactor in Singapore and Agile Academy in Dubai to develop their concept. They will then be allocated a mentor and work with Comm Bank's Innovation team to further refine their idea.

 

This program is open to all Murdoch students and will take place at Perth, Dubai and Singapore campuses. 

 

Each campus will have a final pitching event where the top 3 will be selected to take part in the Grand Final in Perth. The top finalist from each campus will also have opportunity to attend Comm Bank's Innovation Lab in Sydney in January 2020. 

 

Flights and Accommodation for all travel will be paid for by Murdoch.

 

This is truly a great opportunity for any budding entrepreneur to develop their concept, please pass this on to any student that you think would be interested in this opportunity. Perth students will be able to apply to MSP to gain 3 credits as part of the program.

 “I’ve gone well beyond my once existing comfort zone and have developed transferable skills that will no doubt come in handy in my future career and entrepreneurial ventures… I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything else and I’m proud of how far I’ve come.”  Jordan Kidd, winner of the 2018 program.
