The emerging Social Enterprise sector in the Latrobe Valley and Gippsland region is set to get a major boost from a new social enterprise accelerator program being delivered at the $17 million dollar Federation University Morwell Innovation Centre.
The 12-week program called ‘Acceleration for Social Enterprise’ will be delivered by leading Social Innovation organisation One10 Group in partnership with Federation University Morwell Innovation Centre and support the further development of the social enterprise sector and enterprises across the region.
“Innovate or die” has been the catchphrase of the 21st century and its applicability extends far beyond the corporate and commercial realm. Not-for-profits also reap the very real benefits of innovation.
One10 founder Geoff Gourley offers insight into the wide world of innovation strategy and tips for embracing its power.
“Any enterprise that is driven to make an impact and deliver products or services for positive social or environmental change, as well as financial sustainability, is a social enterprise,” says founder Geoff Gourley of social-enterprise ecosystem One10.
