Today’s market place for the social venture is overcrowded with competing causes and worthwhile social initiatives seeking sponsorship, grants and the community dollar. Funding good ideas in the social sector and admirable causes is becoming more and more difficult. Innovation and entrepreneurship is now emerging as an imperative for the social sector to seek new ways of sustaining and growing dynamic social and not-for-profit enterprises that support and deliver positive social change to our communities.
The Entrepreneurship, Commercialisation and Innovation Centre (ECIC) at The University of Adelaide is one of the first in Australia to offer a university qualification in social innovation and entrepreneurship and has launched the Graduate Certificate in Social Entrepreneurship and Innovation. You are invited to apply here.
Run by ECIC, the echallenge competition fosters the successful development of new ideas into investment-ready, early-stage companies. The echallenge creates genuine commercial prospects for the benefit of South Australia.
