LAUNCH
Hosted as part of Accelerate at Upstairs, Bathurst
Are you ready to take your career to new heights and embark on a transformative journey towards leadership and innovation? LAUNCH is your gateway to a brighter future!
LAUNCH is a workshop series that empowers people within the renewable energy and high-quality food products industries across the Central West of New South Wales to unlock their capacity to lead change, drive innovation and foster entrepreneurial opportunities for those around them.
LAUNCH is not just a series of passive presentations – you will actively develop and create projects to lead change in your organisations and for those around them, actively developing entrepreneurial capacity that can activate long term change. Through building these projects, you will learn more about creative approaches to problem solving, designing with users in mind, financial management and much more!
Delivered by Tasmanian innovator Adam Mostogl (2023 40Under40 Australian Entrepreneurs & Executives & 2015 Finalist for Young Australian of the Year), there will also be plenty of opportunities to share, collaborate and learn about how innovation is driving impact and change around the world – and how you can develop this in your own organisation and with those you actively support.
And because of the support through the Accelerating Regional Innovation Fund from the Department for Regional NSW, the program is free for you to access!
