Hi,
Welcome to our first Newsletter from Illume Foundation where we set out to Empower Graduates and Power Startups!
Welcome our Spring Cohort!
We are delighted to welcome 11 Fellows for our Spring Intake of Illume Fellowship Program. The fellows have the opportunity to work with startups in regional Victoria and some amazing startups across Australia.
We welcomed Emma Forster, from City of Melbourne and Bonnie Zhang from the University of Melbourne who are innovators in their field. The fellows also heard from Simon Wheeler, founder of Hone Carbon and Haider Alfallouji, founder of CharityBay on how they are making world a better place. One of the things that we focus during the program is building ‘conscious leaders’ of tomorrow. We are pleased to partner with startups that are just doing this. Our fellows also heard from Roberto Daniele, who runs Catalyst 2030 and informed our fellows on Social Entrepreneurship.
