Founding Director, Ms Valda Sanders, has been awarded the opportunity of a lifetime to attend the ‘Entrepreneurship Development Program’ at Massachusetts Institute of Technology USA thanks to the Queensland State Government and Department of State Development. Only 5 people from Australia have been awarded this scholarship, which will be attended by 120 people from all around the world.

Ms Sanders will fly to the UNITED STATES to attend the MIT’s Entrepreneurship Development Program from 28 January – 1 February 2008.

The “Entrepreneurship Development Program” (EDP) leverages the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s culture of high tech entrepreneurship to help entrepreneurs, corporate venturing executive, and others involved in entrepreneurial environments to learn to develop ideas into successful businesses, and what it takes to increase entrepreneurial opportunities in their corporations, institutions, and regions.
