Programs & events


With COVID-19 presenting an obvious barrier to face-to-face gatherings, the team at WIP are committed to providing high-quality online content over the next few months. We are aiming to provide a suite of online and digital tools, networking, programs and events that will facilitate the development of a thriving online innovation community in the Wodonga region.


Innovation programs

Wodonga Accelerator Program (In Progress)

Step back and look at your business model, walk a mile in your customers’ shoes and test new ideas in a supportive environment. Learn about negotiating, raising capital and even refine your elevator pitch - This is an amazing opportunity to work on the key drivers of businesses performance with the help of experienced consultants.

What to expect

Working along with a group of like-minded innovators, you’ll explore, validate and refine your business idea with the help of experienced mentors. Look at new ways to shift your concept in a changing landscape and make a real impact locally, nationally and even globally.

Whether it’s a product or service, a cutting-edge digital innovation or an invention welded in your garage, you’ll leave the Wodonga Accelerator Program with new customers, new opportunities, an innovative skillset, connections to a like-minded community, and, importantly you’ll be developing your most important asset, you.

While the Program is now finished, we are encouraging any and all youth in the region to get involved with innovation and the broader WIP network by emailing Michael Phillips (Program Lead) at Michael.Phillips@cbrin.com.au.

Upcoming events and activities

Digital events

To maintain momentum through the COVID-19 lockdown, Delos Delta (on behalf of the WIP) are preparing a number of interactive online networking and webinar events. These events will provide a valuable opportunity to congregate digitally as a community, and start to build momentum for the WIP as we work towards face-to-face gatherings.
