Wellness Sharks.
Susie Ellis, GWS Chairman and CEO, says: “Wellness innovation
is moving at a rapid pace and the competition gives us a chance
to highlight up-and-coming, passionate entrepreneurs who want
to make a difference. Each year, Summit delegates express their
delight in having a ‘first-look’ at new concepts and meeting
the students behind these innovative investment opportunities.”
The top three finalists will be flown to this year’s Summit,
which takes place at the Technogym Village in Cesena, Italy
from 6th to 8th October). They will be
given the opportunity to present their idea in front of a live
audience and compete for the US$10,000 prize money.
