Innovation Leaders Network

The ILN Boardroom Lunch series invites startups founders to connect with, and learn from, peers over an informal lunch.

The discussion is led by one or two experienced business leaders who – encouraged by the intimate group setting – are emboldened to be transparent in sharing their business wins and missteps, lessons learned, and advice.

Feedback from a previous participant:

• “I thoroughly enjoyed the 'Boardroom Lunch' event on how to attract and retain talent for small businesses. The insights shared and the opportunity to connect with fellow entrepreneurs were incredibly valuable. I learned how to set up effective processes for hiring the right talent. This led to me being able to hire a skilled engineer from overseas to work in Adelaide.” (Harrison Box, Paladin Space)

The Leadership Program invites a small cohort of South Australian startup founders and leaders to undertake a bespoke leadership course.

This tailored series of workshops and other capability-building opportunities is designed to help participants manage a team, navigate the challenges inherent to starting and growing a business, and realise their growth ambitions.

This new program is being delivered by the Leaders Institute of South Australia at no cost to participants, subsidised by the Department of State Development.

Invitations to participate in the Leadership Program are facilitated through an expression of interest process. Register below to receive information on future expressions of interest and other ILN opportunities.

The Innovation Leaders Network Mentoring series provides opportunities for emerging founders to connect with seasoned entrepreneurs and obtain their insights into starting and scaling a business.

Through facilitated, small group discussions, participants can ask questions and seek advice specific to their business challenges. These mentee-mentor relationships may be developed beyond the event, if both parties should wish.
