2513 - YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation

What steps is the Government taking to provide opportunities for young entrepreneurs under the age of 18 to develop and monetise new ideas?

Answer -

There is substantial work underway across the government and as Minister for Innovation I am working closely with my colleagues the Minister for Industry and the Minister for Skills to provide opportunities for young entrepreneurs in New South Wales

On 24 March 2015, The NSW Government launched public consultation to inform a NSW Government Innovation Strategy. Consultation via an innovative community engagement platform has been designed to be 'user friendly' and is mobile optimised to encourage genuine feedback from a diverse range of community stakeholders, including young entrepreneurs.

In addition, we have partnered with the Advocate for Children & Young People, on direct consultation with young people – resulting in over 40 submissions - on what Innovation means to them. This feedback will also inform the NSW Government Innovation Strategy.
