Corporate Partnerships - Innovation Residency

Plain English pitch

Your people need to be embedded in the innovation ecosystem, not watching from the sidelines.

We give them a front-row seat and hands-on experience.

What it is

Innovation Residency is an immersive program that places corporate teams inside Stone & Chalk's innovation hubs.

This lets you build capability, culture, and connections through direct ecosystem engagement.

What it does

Innovation Residency drives cultural transformation and capability building through immersion rather than training.

Your team gains innovation literacy, startup methodology exposure, and direct founder relationships – as you build internal champions for organisational change.

How it works

• Residency design and objectives scoping with your leadership team
• Physical workspace integration within Stone & Chalk hubs
• Structured founder interactions and ecosystem programming access
• Capability-building sessions and innovation methodology exposure
• Optional mentoring opportunities and project collaboration with startups
• Regular progress reviews and internal knowledge transfer planning

Outcome

You build internal innovation champions with practical startup experience, stronger ecosystem connections, and cultural transformation capability.

You also receive a pipeline of insights for internal change and deeper ties into Australia's innovation community.
