As we head into the end of the financial year, we realise just how quickly this year is flying by! There have been a lot of successes and a lot of congratulations to be had.
These last few months we have celebrated women across the Territory. From the inspiring finalists and winners of the inaugural NT News Women of the Year awards, female led ISACNT for being awarded the Workforce Advisory Grant, female led GTNT for 35 years of dedicated service to the NT, Neha Chriss for joining the ACTIO team and founding Deep Ocean (stay tuned!), and our own Emma Nesbitt for being placed by Innovation Territory to grow and manage the Women’s Innovation Network NT (WINNT). Join the new WINNT mailing list for updates and information on our events during October Business Month.

And remember to look to the skies as Exercise Pitch Black returns from 12 July to 2 August.
