Generation Next: ASEAN-Australian Women Leading Economic Growth will accelerate the business growth and economic empowerment of at least 120 early-stage female entrepreneurs from ASEAN, Timor-Leste, and Australia over four years.
Each year the program will support female entrepreneurs to build practical networks, explore new markets and provide leadership training.
A 12-week program will run each year and offer:
- an initial 11-weeks of online training – linking women with business contacts, giving them insights into various ASEAN, Australian or Timor-Leste economies to support their business ventures
- a seven-day trade mission exchange in Australia for industry networking events, meetings with business officials and to attend their annual event where global speakers come together to pitch startup ideas – helping women make connections and propel their business ideas.
