Entrepreneurship Forum for RMIT Alumni
The RMIT Enterprise Group, in conjunction with RMIT College of Business Alumni Relations, runs several Entrepreneurship Forums each year. The purpose of these events is to promote entrepreneurship and innovation in the Victorian community, and enable entrepreneurs and those interested in entrepreneurship to be inspired by a variety of people who have started successful ventures in a wide range of for-profit and not-for-profit areas. There are also opportunities for alumni and others to network and make new contacts.

With her winemaking background in the family business ‘Swords Wines’ and confidence in creating a new market segment, Georgia plans to provide Lupe winemakers as an alternative means of distribution.
Lupé has been thriving since its launch at the City of Melbourne’s Melbourne Music Week in November 2012, also named as one of BRW’s 10 Start-ups to watch.
Lupé offers consumers a range of single-serve quality wines in a neat, convenient package that is 100 per cent recyclable. www.lupewines.com.au
