Launch FNQ Incubate Pitching Finals
Event Information
About this Event
We would like to invite you to the pitch finals on Friday the 4th of December to hear their pitches and celebrate the launch of their businesses.
The top 3 teams from the program will be pitching their companies to share the wonderful work they are doing, and compete for the prizes on offer!
We will also have three special guests including, our Entrepreneur-in-residence, Peter Laurie who will also be joining us from Brisbane to celebrate the success of our pitching teams.
Our keynote speakers will be a fireside chat with James and Tiggy Nathan (TopDeck) who have made Queensland their home during COVID. Their story of persistence, innovation and adaptability in the growth of their company TopDeck in the early 2000’s is really inspiring. They bought TopDeck in 2003 when it was at the brink of failure. Seeing something the current owners couldn’t and having the flexibility to move quickly allowed the Nathans to build their tourism company from 7 busses in 2003 to 33 in 2010, to help over 50,000 young people see the world and turnover a revenue of $120M/annum before they sold the business to Flight Centre.
There will be some nibbles and a drink on arrival as well as covid-safe networking and an opportunity to meet the companies pitching in the competition.
We would like to thank Advance Queensland and AusIndustry for their support of the Launch FNQ program.
