"We know Charles Sturt University students fit this mindset and have a really good chance of being included in the five selected to travel to the United States," said Mr Nick Kaye, CEO of SSE.

"It's an amazing opportunity for anyone who really wants to move ahead in the world of entrepreneurship, as Hacker Exchange is set to be a great networking event and experience within the Silicon Valley ecosystem."

The 13-day event from Sunday 3 to Friday 15 December 2017 connects forward-thinking student entrepreneurs to the vibrant and innovative culture of Silicon Valley. The students will meet high growth start-ups and tech giants and be immersed in an experiential program that includes ideation, funding, branding, culture, growth hacking and pitching.
