Enactus UNE, University of New England, Armidale (2026)

We are all passionate about social, economic and environmental issues in the community and are using this passion to utilise and develop the skills we are learning at uni through outreach projects.

Enactus brings together a diverse network of university students, academic professionals and industry leaders around the shared mission of creating a better, more sustainable world through the positive power of business. By contributing their talents to projects that improve the lives of people worldwide, Enactus participants are demonstrating that individuals with a knowledge and passion for business can be a powerful force for change. When it comes to planning for a career after university, Enactus students have two things in common – their experiences as a Enactus student have better prepared and qualified them, and their participation at Enactus events provides them with unparalleled access to the country's most successful executives and entrepreneurs.

General information

Enactus UNE is a student leadership organisation focused on developing and implementing community projects through entrepreneurial initiatives. The annual Enactus National Competition gives a platform for students to present their projects to major corporations such as Woolworths and CPA Australia. Company and university executives judge each university team on the social, economic and environmental benefits they contribute towards the community. In recognition of the significant impact Enactus UNE projects are having on our community, Enactus UNE won against 21 other Australian universities to be named the Australian National Champions for 2013. The team will now have opportunities to further showcase their projects at the Enactus World Cup in Cancun, Mexico from the 29th of September to the 1st of October, 2013.
