A message from Professor Andrew O’Neil
News 28 MayAn update from the Executive Dean of Law and Business Professor Andrew O'Neil.
ACU’s business incubator, Co-Lab, is delighted to announce details of its 2023 Circular Economy Incubator Series, designed for people and businesses with principles and practices of circular economics at the forefront of everyday operations.
What is a circular economy? The circular economy is about changing the way we produce, assemble, sell and use products to minimise waste and reduce our environmental impact.
The ACU Circular Economy Incubator Series is an eight-week, in-depth learning program designed to educate future changemakers about the practical components of the circular economy.
Industry experts will walk you through the key components of building a circular economy-focused business. Attendees will then be encouraged to put their newly learned skills to work by crafting a video pitch for the chance to win the inaugural Circular Economy Award prize of $10,000 to kickstart their project.
The series will be delivered in partnership with one of Co-Lab’s founding members StartSomeGood, sector leaders in social enterprise education, innovative partnerships and cause-driven crowdfunding.
From Wednesday 10 May, the online workshop series runs every week between 4-6pm.
The national workshops are free to attend, open to anyone and you’re encouraged to share details with both colleagues, family networks and students.
Workshop topics include:
The Circular Economy Award recognises an individual or team who has attended three or more Incubator Series workshops, developed a novel idea that addresses and relates to the circular economy, and is at any stage of development, from initial idea to market ready. Your idea may be for a business that sells a physical product or one that offers a service.
The winning video pitch entry receives the grand prizes:
An additional ACU student prize of $1,000 will be awarded to the best student entry that does not win the grand prize.
Entry for the award closes at 11.59pm AEST Sunday 2 July. Entrants must attend three or more workshops to be eligible to lodge a pitch entry into the Circular Economy Award.
We encourage all student-facing staff to share details of the Incubator Series and Award. If you would like any further information or would like a member of Co-Lab to present this opportunity to your students, please contact Ms Tayana Grundy.
