Congratulations to all Winnovation Awards Winners & Finalists!

They are the unsung heroes, quiet achievers, the difference makers and the mavericks; each one dedicated to challenging the known or solving the unknown in their contribution to South Australian enterprise. Their fields of endeavour range from art to zoos; diving into the southern ocean; scanning the stars above; – or caring for the land in between. From studios to shop fronts; research facilities to workshop floors, laboratories to boardrooms.

Acknowledgment of Country   

Women in Innovation SA acknowledge and pay respect to the cultural authority of First Peoples of this land and celebrate their enduring connections to Country, knowledge and stories.   We acknowledge and respect the traditional custodians of the ancestral lands where we live and work and pay respect to Ancestors and Elders and past, present and emerging – for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and the hopes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. 

Women in Innovation SA recognises the pain and suffering caused by past policies to Aboriginal Australians and the impact this has had on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today. We are committed to a future of reconciliation, we believe that there is much knowledge and wisdom to be gained by Aboriginal Australians, by the learning of Country, land, cultures, truths and realities.
