Mobile Entertainment Growth Alliance 

MEGA – the Mobile Entertainment Growth Alliance - was stimulated by this residency, generating new opportunities with the mobile phone entertainment industry.

MEGA is an Entrepreneurship Masterclass series which takes participants from the mobile, digital content and ICT industries through an industry-driven development program to build their creative, technical and business skills for the development of new products and services for global markets.

Participants form project teams and, guided by industry experts, develop and pitch new products and services to investors, buyers and business identities at a high profile Pitch Day in each state.

MEGA introduces participants to a range of high profile industry presenters and mentors. Participants are also supported by a large MEGA support network of industry, education and government.
