It\u2019s shaping up to be a high-impact year for the Flinders University’s New Venture Institute (NVI), as the team prepares for another exhilarating tour of the US while spreading its entrepreneurial influence further with a high-tech Berlin mission and NVI\u2019s first start-up course outside South Australia.<\/p>\n
Known for its eclectic markets and entrepreneurial zest, NVI\u2019s flagship Venture Dorm program will be right at home in Byron Bay, where a new partnership with a regional cluster will bring its proven enterprise expertise into NSW.<\/p>\n
Sourdough Business Pathways<\/a> is bringing the first NVI-powered \u2018Sourdough Pre-accelerator Program\u2019<\/a> to regional NSW, where the program is set to commence on February 26 2019. A second intake will follow later in the year. The intensive eight-week program will include all the training, mentoring and practical components that have made its twin, Venture Dorm, so popular and effective in building over 400 SA startups.<\/p>\n Next on its bursting early-year calendar, will be NVI\u2019s flagship US start-up tour in early March, eNVI.US. Again, this trip will see winning Venture Dormers accompanied by paid participants visit San Francisco, the SXSW festival in Austin, and New York.
