Visiting Entrepreneur Program 2022: It’s a wrap
In 2022 the Visiting Entrepreneur Program ran from 22 June to 1 July. Under the theme of ‘Future TBD’, we brought 11 global entrepreneurs together with the local ecosystem to deliver 17-inspiring events. The program of events questioned everything from a travel guide to decarbonisation, to the future possibilities of the metaverse and health game changers.
The Visiting Entrepreneur Program is a series of free events where global and local experts explore the latest technological breakthroughs and innovations in a specific field.
Past themes covered the metaverse, synthetic biology and artificial intelligence, through to cybersecurity, decarbonisation and quantum technology.
A key component of our tech startups action plan, the program aims to foster a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation, and raise awareness for Sydney’s tech startup ecosystem globally.
Conversations with global thinkers
Since launching in 2017, the program has presented more than 100 curated events for over 10,500 members of the local tech startup ecosystem with over 90 partner organisations.
The Visiting Entrepreneur Program is produced by the City of Sydney with partner organisations from the local startup ecosystem.
