The Shark Tank of Wellness global student competition offers three university students a life-changing opportunity to network with leading wellness visionaries and business leaders. Three finalists will fly to GWS 2023 to be held from 6 to 9 November in Doha, Qatar, to pitch their wellness business idea to a panel of wellness sharks, who are business leaders and investors in wellness. The Wellness Sharks will ask questions of the students, who will defend their innovation and make a business case for its viability on stage in front of hundreds of Summit delegates - a "who's who" in the global wellness world from over 50 countries.
