The Entrepreneurship and Co-Working Spaces session will discuss “incubator” models from Australia and the USA. The session content will focus on locally based innovation hubs, co-working spaces, makers spaces, business incubators and business enterprise centres, whilst exploring the role local government provides. The session will provide rural entrepreneurs, elected members, economic developers and small business owners with information about what roles they can play to create a co-working space. e.g. management models and funding.

The facilitated workshop will explore what incubator concepts could be introduced in the Southern Flinders, Yorke and Mid North.

Who should attend:  Anyone with an interest in economy catalysts and injecting increased ‘business life” into a town or community.

Keynote Speaker: Kim Charles  – CEO Business Station Western Australia
