iAccelerate is excited to partner with the UOW Alumni Relations team to bring you our virtual event, Inside Innovation!

Join us for a conversation with local innovators from our residents as we explore what it takes to be an entrepreneur in these current times. Hear from three start-up founders, as they share stories and lessons learned around building successful companies from the ground up. This is your opportunity to get an insider look into innovation.

The event aims to inspire a conversation around entrepreneurial pathways and opportunities that may be available to people wanting to explore entrepreneurship and innovation in their own lives. Sometimes all it takes is a spark (and a lot of hard work), to turn an idea to reality!
