The Innovation & Collaboration Centre is bringing in three former UniSA student /entrepreneurs to tell their stories on how they brought their idea into existence and startup to a “minimum viable product” (An MVP is a version of a product with just enough features to be usable by early customers who can then provide feedback for future product development). Did we also mention that food and drinks are provided!
Join us for a fireside chat with these UniSA South Aussie innovators, facilitated by ICC Director, Jasmine Vreugdenburg:
- Charmain Ooi – Founder, BYO Foods
After a successful internship in her last semester of the Bachelor of Marketing, Charmain joined Taste Studios as a Marketing Coordinator and began heading her own food and hospitality innovations with BYO Foods at the ICC, creating small-batch, high-end food and beverage products for hotels, cafés and restaurants under customisable packaging and labelling.

- Lindon Lark – Founder, Blend Etiquette
Lindon has grown Blend Etiquette from humble beginnings to his self-sustaining distillery which is home to a 300-litre copper pot still and a team of likeminded innovators. Hear from one of the strongest local voices in gin as Lindon joins our Idea to MVP panel.
