New Venture Institute is the centre for innovation and entrepreneurship at Flinders and the front door for businesses to all the University has to offer. We are passionate about the great things we can achieve with university and business working together, and we are client focused, responsive and engaged to make this happen. NVI supports students and the broader community to create new businesses and to challenge business models. We also nurture entrepreneurs with an active innovation community, and we add value to businesses with our student driven, professional grade consulting.
Venture Dorm powered by Mega aims to foster early startups and business model innovation, taking participants from idea to investment-pitch ready through a lean startup approach. We facilitate networks and connections with a suite of engaged events from inspiring entrepreneurs to connecting with researchers to international tours. We work with schools and business groups to drive the innovation agenda, and we help business scale up by leveraging the knowledge assets and equipment of the University.
