Pitch Night at the Museum 3
2023-03-21 17:00 - 20:00 | WA Museum Boola Bardip, Perth Cultural Centre, Perth, WA, 6000, Australia
Every year, the innovation industry is growing and expanding even further. With new ideas and creations propelling us faster forward into the future – now is the time to showcase the innovations we have right here in WA!
Join us in Perth’s hub of art, culture and technology on Tuesday 21st March for our THIRD Pitch Night in partnership with the WA Museum, helping as many WA Startups as we can to accelerate their journey!
This year we’re focusing on the new global movement towards Net Positivity. All across the globe, more companies and innovators are working towards putting back more into society, the environment and the global economy than they take out. This means taking into consideration your impact through every product, every operation, every region and country and for every stakeholder, including employees, suppliers, communities and customers, and even future generations and the planet itself.
Less ‘bad’ leads us down the wrong path. We should be creating MORE good. Net Zero is not the end goal.
What does the night look like?

A Net Positive keynote by guest speaker
2 minute speed pitches from WA’s top innovators;
networking so you can meet them;
voting for your favourites; and
Stage interviews with your top 3.

(Reach out to steve@evolv3.net if you are interested in pitching on the night!)
