“In a time of great excitement and energy, Innovation

Melbourne helps the Melbourne-based entrepreneur

navigate the noise. A useful mixture of theory and

practical tips written in a digestible and conversational

style. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to

establish their own sustainable business.”

“This is an excellent initiative. When I started exploring

the start-up ecosystem in Melbourne it was a lengthy

process of finding people and places via a number of

sources. A guidebook, like this one, has the potential to

make the start-up ecosystem more accessible to

everyone.”

entrepreneurs.”

~ Sheree Rubinstein, Co-founder & CEO of One Roof

Governments role?

An ecosystem framework – where does

communities and coworking fit in?

Hypothesis on how the coworking industry can

play a leadership role in the entrepreneurial

ecosystem

1. Leaders to create an open culture

2. Leaders to mentor and create new leaders (evolve)

3. Successful entrepreneurs to give back to the

ecosystem

4. Have data

5. Have a brand (signature events and identity)
