Entrepreneurs in Action (EIA) is an annual event where 66 of our most engaged YES students come together to compete in two back-to-back business challenges over 48 hours. This fast-paced YES experience is happening in Wellington in June and all expenses are covered by us!

Throughout the three days, students are split into teams and mentored by a host company to compete in the two business challenges. This is a great experience for our young entrepreneurs to connect with some of our country’s most innovative business organisations. EIA requires the teams to work efficiently, think creatively, and act entrepreneurial.
