Launched by Westpac (one of Australia’s largest banks) in 2017, the Businesses of Tomorrow program seeks to identify and celebrate the Top 200 most promising businesses in Australia shaping the future.
Businesses were assessed by Deloitte and chosen by a judging panel based on their potential to help tomorrow’s customers, economy and society. The panel consisted of high profile leaders including David Lindberg (Chief Executive of Business Banking for Westpac), Lyn Cobley (Chief Executive of Institutional Banking for Westpac), Alison Deans (Director of Cochlear), Simon Cant (MD of Reinventure GRoup), Tim Fung (CEO of Airtasker) and Prof Ian Harper (Dean of the Melbourne Business School).
A 3-day “Take on Tomorrow” program was run by Melbourne Business School with inspiring lectures from some of Australia’s brightest minds including Bernard Salt, Mark Ritson, Lisa McInnes-Smith and Scott Bales
