When communities, governments and businesses work together, they become a powerful force for change. This is the essence of 'Open State'.
One of the events being staged during the program is Icebreaker 16 Octover 19th, organised by the New Venture Institute at Flinders University and hosted in Tonsley. It is aiming to capture the Guinness Book of World Records award for the largest speed networking event with some 1,200+ people.
