Women in Innovation (WINN) is a not-for-profit initiative that exists solely to support female innovators in South Australia. We champion all women bucking trends, disrupting status quos, attempting the new and making changes to the old, wherever they work. Then, we bring them together.
Across every sector, for all types of work, we are an inclusive community for innovative women striving to make a difference. We proudly advocate for women in business, bureaucracy and boardrooms; in labs, studios, libraries and on the land.
While women have worked tirelessly to create their own seats at the table, if we’re to reach targets of gender equity in Australia by 2030, there’s more work to be done. And who better to do it than the women themselves?
At WINN we believe the best formula for female success is coming together to grow, learn, support, collaborate and share with one another.
Since 2014, our Women in Innovation Awards program has showcased some of South Australia’s leading female innovators. Many of them use this platform to push their successes even further. We’re passionate about supporting those who are willing to break boundaries, experiment and be their authentic selves.
When asked, our members told us they joined Women in Innovation SA because they wanted to connect with like-minded people, contribute their knowledge and wisdom to help others excel, and be active participants in a social change movement. The best part is, they receive the same in return.
