Australian–French Entrepreneurship Challenge 2017 for Australians, Application Deadline: Monday 8 May 2017
The call for applications to participate in the second Australian–French Entrepreneurship Challenge is now open.

This second edition builds on the success of the first Australian-French Challenge at the Australian National University in June 2016. ANRT (L’Association nationale de la recherche et de la technologie) and Novancia Business School will again bring in their pedagogical know-how and organisational support.
The Australian–French challenge is supported by the South Australian Government, the Australian Academy of Science, the University of South Australia, the University of Adelaide, Flinders University, the French Embassy in Australia, and the Australian and French business communities.
