May 2019 - United States & Canada Innovation Precinct Tour
The Committee for Adelaide and Don Dunstan Foundation are leading an Innovation Precinct Tour in May 2019. The tour will visit innovation precincts in four cities in the US and Canada: Toronto, New York, Boston and Austin. With Adelaide being uniquely poised to establish itself as a major centre for innovation, entrepreneurship and social enterprise, this tour is a great opportunity to get a first hand look at the programs and initiatives that support entrepreneurs and make these precincts such a success.
