We have collaborated with charities from various areas such as Refugees Welcome, Conviction Health or the Domestic Violence Service Management. These projects are not only a way for our Data Heroes to create a positive impact with their skills - they are also opportunites for our members and the charities to learn from each other and help create the bridge between the social sector and innovation.  About the Visiting Entrepreneur Program The Visiting Entrepreneur Program brings high profile international entrepreneurs to Sydney twice a year to share their expertise and knowledge with the local tech startup community with a range of events, including talks, mentoring sessions and workshops.
