The Story of the 2024 GI Challenge

Ten Years of Generation Innovation

The GI Challenge is an independently run entrepreneurship program for 15-21 year olds from the Sunshine Coast and Noosa.

The GI Challenge has run annually since 2015, even during Covid! The program empowers young entrepreneurs to translate an idea into a viable business through mentoring, skills development and business connections in a collaborative and inspiring environment.

In 2024 the program kicked off on 15 July and culminated in Pitch Night on 2 October.
