The Challenge - how to make international buyers recognise the value of WA honey bee products and create new business opportunities

WA has the purest honey bee products in the world, and we need to protect our healthy bees. In a day and a half you will learn about WA's honey bee industry, share your product ideas and develop them, with guidance, into products for the export market. On Friday evening, the Hackathon begins with hearing from the commercial beekeepers, honey bee product packers and successful product development stories. After drinks and a light dinner, Hackathon-ers take the floor with your ideas and forming teams for their development. Saturday is the working day - business model development, product and market validation, coaching by experts, pitch preparation and then pitching to a panel, feedback and wrap-up. The concept voted to most likely meet challenge will be awarded $500.
