Innovation 200 Club
We are pleased to invite applications for membership of the Innovation 200 Club—a national fellowship of Founders, Entrepreneurs, and Business Owners committed to building an Australia that is not only wealthier, but wiser and fairer.
Membership is strictly reserved for those who have founded or built ventures in Industry, Technology, Service Delivery, Education, or the Arts, and for whom entrepreneurship and business ownership is a calling to contribute to shared prosperity and well-being.
About the Club
Inspired by the mutual improvement societies of the 19th century, the Innovation 200 Club is a modern fellowship grounded in traditional values: character, trust, self-improvement, and service.
It is a forum for principled entrepreneurs, founders and business owners — those who see business as a force for good, and innovation as a moral responsibility.
It is also a united Voice for Founders, Entrepreneurs and Business Owners in their engagement with government, institutions, and the broader public.
Membership is by invitation or application, and open only to people of good character, unimpeachable integrity, and a track record of founding ventures that contribute to shared prosperity and community well-being.
Consultants and managers are not eligible.
