What an incredible way to wrap up the Career Sprint Series 🚀

Over five events, we welcomed international students from across Melbourne to build their confidence, strengthen their employability skills, and grow their professional networks.

Thank you to every student, speaker, mentor, and partner who made this series possible. We can't wait to see what you do next.

After receiving more than 900 applications from across Southeast Asia and Australia, we're excited to welcome the women selected for Generation Next 2026.

Starting in July 2026, this cohort will come together to explore opportunities in the Digital Economy, strengthen their ventures, learn from industry leaders, and build meaningful connections across borders. Representing diverse industries, experiences, and communities, these founders share a common ambition: to create impact, solve real-world challenges, and shape the future through entrepreneurship.

Generation Next was created to support emerging women founders with the networks, mentorship, knowledge, and opportunities needed to accelerate their growth and expand what's possible. This year's cohort joins a growing community of founders who are building businesses, creating jobs, driving innovation, and contributing to a more connected Southeast Asian-Australia region.

A huge congratulations to everyone selected.

We can't wait to see what you'll build next.
