This is an excellent opportunity for entrepreneurs to showcase their products and services in front of potential customers, business partners or investors, and get connected to the network in Australia and abroad, through Eureka global operation, i.e. Israel, Europe and Asia. This is the opportunity we offer to the 30 selected innovative businesses to pitch in an international competition and network with partners and stakeholders.
