RYIP

The Regional Youth Innovation Pipeline (RYIP) aims to create clear and accessible innovation pathways for young people in WA's regional and remote areas. Addressing the challenge of limited visibility and access to innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities, RYIP fosters regional youth engagement in entrepreneurship, broadens career considerations, and benefits students, teachers, industry, and the wider community. By collaborating to integrate and enhance existing programs, RYIP forms a streamlined model—a pipeline—of opportunity for regional youth across Western Australia. Ecosystem partners share a unified vision to build regional young people's capacity through innovation and future skill development, supported by funding, expertise, and collaborative efforts.
