The 3P gives students the chance to explore creative and innovative business ideas whilst being mentored by highly regarded industry experts.

Students are required to develop a new, innovative product/idea or service associated with the 3P (People, Planet, Profit). Teams learn to develop their ideas into a viable business case, submitting a 3Pitch for judging. The top five 3Pitches will be selected to pitch to a panel of experts to win a share of $25,000.00.

Previous winners include an on-demand hiring service for contractors, industrial lift, a digital textbook service, safer, fashionable and practical scooter attire, crowd sourced fashion website, an online art platform, thermoelectric generation devices and a home automation system.

The competition has been proudly supported by IBISWorld since 2013.

What to expect

Students will have the opportunity to meet with mentors to discuss their startup ideas and develop their 3Pitch. The 3Pitches are then submitted for judging, and six finalists are chosen to pitch to the judging panel for final assessment.
