After six wonderful years building Deakin University’s entrepreneurship program SPARK Deakin this is our final impact report – a reflection on 2020, 2021 and an acknowledgment of all the people involved in SPARK Deakin – current and past. Moving forward SPARK Deakin will take a different direction focusing on commercialisation of research.
SPARK Deakin has always been powered by a small yet mighty team of dedicated staff, mentors and consultants- I am deeply grateful for their expertise and service over the last two years and hope this impact report captures the essence of their spirit – generosity.
– Program Manager, Daizy Maan
