INDUSTRY PROJECTS
Venture's Institute for Social and Environmental Impact.

Working within industry to design, create and build something new.

Venture's Institute is a program created to tackle real-world problems whilst giving students the opportunity to work and network within the professional workplace.

In this program, Venture works with industry to create fun and experiential projects that add value for the industry we work with, the students we seek to create the opportunity for and the local and global community within which we operate.

Those students who participate in an industry project are supported with access to our co-working facilities, skills development workshops delivered by industry professionals and ongoing mentorship.

Check out some of our past projects below and contact us to find out about new ones.
