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.

Wodonga Accelerator (Complete)
The Wodonga Accelerator gave participants the chance to work with a group of like-minded innovators, and to explore, validate and refine business ideas with the help of experienced mentors. The 22 participants left the program with new ways to shift concepts in a changing landscape and make a real impact locally, nationally and even globally.
Youth Innovation Program (Complete)
The Wodonga Youth Innovation Program is now complete, with over 15 local youth and mentors being able to build their innovation skills and confidence. The Program linked teams of young people in the Albury-Wodonga region with local business and innovation mentors, to develop, test and discuss their innovative ideas.
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.
