Amongst a sea of 700 faces from the business community, Aaron Hickmann joined the line-up of speakers including the Premier of South Australia and fresh-minted the South Australian Business Chamber CEO Andrew Kay at this special business luncheon. Aaron announced his investment in the South Australian Young Entrepreneurs Scheme (SAYES).
At this sell-out event, young entrepreneur Aaron shared his global ambitions to flood the sports lighting market and why he wants to give back to the next generation of young entrepreneurs.
“When I completed the program a decade ago, it was all about the network of like-minded people and being inspired by others, some of whom I’m still in touch with today, says Aaron.
“Being the first sponsor of SAYES is about passing the baton on to today’s aspiring entrepreneurs because they’re the ones who take the unprecedented risks and need cheering on, especially in South Australia.
“I am proud to give back and look forward to being part of South Australia’s investment in entrepreneurship.”
The South Australian Business Chamber Manager, Entrepreneurs Program Vasco Bontje welcomes this ‘giving back’ to the SAYES program and the entrepreneurial spirit it fosters.
“It is testament to the program that we see former participants re-investing in the program. Seeing the success that Aaron has been able to achieve with VALO is so impressive.
“SAYES is about saying yes. We want South Australia’s young entrepreneurs to give their business ideas a real go.”
SAYES is funded with the generous support from the South Australian Department for Industry, Innovation and Science. For more details on the South Australian Business Chamber SAYES program, please visit www.business-sa.com
