WynCUBATOR is a community co-working space we have established in Werribee, City of Wyndham, to support the local residents especially the migrants and disadvantaged communities to establish small businesses, social enterprises, community groups and brainstorm/create solutions to local issues. We have mentors and a support pool of local residents and volunteers. If you are in the area, drop in and speak to us. There are not enough jobs for everyone. We want to help migrants and local residents create the jobs for themselves. We are OPEN for business.

At the City of Wyndham we are doing something to create a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship - especially in the multicultural community. We are establishing the Wyncubator at 31 Russell St, Werribee and if any member of this site has a business idea or idea of a product or service which can be commercialised, have a confidential conversation with us. Please contact Walter Villagonzalo 0422452019

Along with Assistant Minister for Innovation Hon. Wyatt Roy MP, BlueChilli will bring together representatives from startups, VC funds, accelerators and other components of the innovation ecosystem, with policy experts from government departments to collaborate in a one-day industry policy hackathon in Sydney, Saturday 17 October 2015. Ideas were invited www.policyhack.com.au and the 10 ideas receiving the highest votes will be workshopped at the hackathon.
I made a submission as President of The Migrant HUB, founding member of the Association of Skilled Migrants of Australia and VP for the Australian Council for Multicultural Entrepreneurs http://oursay.org/community/policyhack/almost-half-of-australia-rsquo-s-population-are-born-overseas-or-have-at-least-one-parent-born-overseas
242 ideas have been submitted and 5,969 votes were cast so far. The idea with the highest votes received 453 votes. My idea received 1 vote so far - mine. The time to make submissions, I believe, is still open.
I received an invitation to attend the hackaton to present my idea, have it workshopped and pitch the idea to a panel of government representatives including the Assistant Minister for Innovation.
I am posting this to invite comments and suggestions from friends so I can prepare for the pitch better. The outcome I am hoping for is that a pilot business incubator/co-working space be established with Federal government support in Wyndham to support multicultural entrepreneurs and local small/micro businesses.

We are not a recruitment site nor are we migration agents. We welcome postings about jobs and migrations issues but we cannot and will not vet or accredit agents.
