ABOUT US
In 2020, The UWA Student Guild recognised that automation and innovation are changing the global workforce. This led to the creation of Venture: The Student Innovation Centre.
Venture is an environment where the development of ideas is encouraged, a community that accelerates personal growth, building valuable partnerships and the sharing of collective wisdom.
We are a central point of connection for Clubs, Societies and all UWA Students, providing access to valuable hands-on experiences, ideation, and innovative thinking within the UWA and WA ecosystem.
​
OUR VISION: To inspire all students to realise and capitalise on their power to change THEIR world.
​
OUR MISSION To enable our students to capitalise on their potential through a mindset of innovation and entrepreneurship.
​
INDUSTRY PARTNERS
Venture is led by student volunteers, working together we create strategy, test a lot of new things and have a whole lot of fun, whilst ensuring our activities are truly valuable to students.
