Lotterywest Fund: Innovative Society Initiative

The WA AustCYber Innovation Hub is happy to be part of the Innovative Society Initaitive, coordinated by Meshpoints and Spacecubed, and supported by Lotterywest.

The Innovative Society Initiative, exists to build a stronger culture of innovation and entrepreneurship in Western Australia – a “culture of innovation” that will help WA solve difficult and wicked problems and the impacts of disruption.

This needs investment in the skillsets, toolkits and mindsets of West Australians, not only to support individuals and ideas to thrive, but to build a more diverse, resilient community and economy. Building a stronger culture of innovation, throughout this Initiative, is measured in two ways.

By offering increased support for innovators in the early stage of their entrepreneurship journey, expanding the diversity of entrepreneurs and improving the number of high quality supporting structures and programs, West Australians will be enabled to explore innovation and improve their innovative capability.

View the website for a summary of each funding stream, and consult the Funding Guidelines for specific information.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Hub Director Cecily Rawlinson.
