PLACE: St Paul's Creative Centre, 200 Pulteney Street, Adelaide 5000
What makes a successful creative entrepreneur, and how can we harness that success to support economic growth? How can we build on Adelaide’s reputation as a city in which ideas can be trialled, startups can grow and innovation can flourish? How can our creative entrepreneurs collaborate with the technology sector?
These ideas and many more will be explored in two interlinked sessions presented by Musitec and St Paul’s Creative Centre as part of Brand South Australia's Entrepreneurs Week.
