INSPIRE - INNOVATE - ACHIEVE

The HYMBA is about encouraging students and schools in the Hunter to think like entrepreneurs, to express their creativity and develop the self-confidence to present their ideas.

The awards program, will see our region’s youngest innovators and entrepreneurs have their ideas for a business, product, service or solution brought to life, recognised and rewarded by local business leaders.

Now in its eighth year, we’ve already unearthed lots of great ideas and creative thinking.
