The Canoe Race is not just a TV show—it's a celebration of innovation, courage, and the entrepreneurial spirit of Vanuatu. Unlike its name might suggest, this groundbreaking reality program involves no paddling. Instead, it draws inspiration from the daring voyages of our ancestors, who braved uncharted waters in their canoes to discover new horizons. In much the same way, today’s entrepreneurs are charting bold new courses, taking risks, and navigating challenges to reach their dreams. This is more than a competition—it's a movement that champions innovation, celebrates ambition, and inspires a new generation of risk-takers to pursue their dreams. Get ready to cheer for Vanuatu’s future changemakers!
