In this milestone we intend to open our innovation space to the students. It is very rare to see new and interesting spaces open from existing spaces inside UTS, so we aim to have an awesome opening ceremony.
== Strategy #2 - Creation of an Entrepreneurship & Innovation Help Centre <br/> == Recently, UTS has begun encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship around campus. This strategy aims to boost students' interest in both entrepreneurship and innovation through the creation of a common place or hub where students can obtain advice. Advice can be offered by any individuals familiar in this area and can involve things such as, *How to register a Business*How to do customer research*When to seek legal advice*Different funding options that are available The aim is to encourage studentes to launch more successful start-ups, whilst developing a passion for innovation and design thinking principles. Various interviews with students has shown that there is a demand for this type of help centre. There are many different obstacles which students must overcome to start successful start-ups. Through helping students through these initial stages, UTS will be able to incubate and launch many more successful businesses. Further concreting the universities place as the most innovative and forward thinking campus in Australia. All programs including this will need support and funding to make it successful. Initially, our aim was to obtain funding from the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) which is a compulsory fee paid by all students. However, after consulting with various staff from different faculties, we have received incredible support and many resources made available to make this space a reality.
== Strategy #3 - Improving communication of current innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities to students. ==
