About

The Blue Nile African Australian Business Masterclass Program is a subsidised program designed for African Australian entrepreneurs and corporate leaders.

The program has been developed by the University of Melbourne in collaboration with the African Australian community to respond to the specific challenges faced by African Australian entrepreneurs in the Australian business landscape.

Participants engage with entrepreneurs, world-class staff executives, managers and community leaders, who will share tools for growing businesses and developing economic opportunities for the community at large.

In addition to delivering world-class business knowledge, the Blue Nile Program also seeks to build participants’ business networks through a mentoring program. Mentors will continue to provide support to participants following the completion of the program.

The program is auspiced by the Melbourne Social Equity Institute and supported by the Scanlon Foundation.

Applications for the inaugural Blue Nile Program closed in March 2020.
