Innovation Hub WA

Innovation Hub WA comprises collaborative partnerships between some of Western Australia’s leading community and private sector partners investing in WA social innovation.

It fosters cross-sector stakeholder-centred-design and drives co-investment into innovative social enterprises that address key social impact problem areas. Funding for investable social ventures incubated through the hub will be supported through the WA social investment fund.

The Hub supports both early-stage social enterprises and asset-backed social and environmental impact projects that deliver impact across sustainability, social mobility and inclusion, and support communities, efficiencies, and jobs in WA.

Facts: Western Australian NFP’s hold over $2B cash on their balance sheets. WA State Govt spends over $13B pa on procurement. Superannuation funds under management exceed $200B. Philanthropy & venture capital is over $1B pa combined. These circumstances combined create an enormous un-tapped opportunity to bridge the gap between investment and grant-making for sustainable investment and impact in WA.
