• How are our entrepreneurs and innovators best supported across Australia?
• What are some of the unique opportunities and challenges experienced by entrepreneurs in major city centres, rural regions, and remote communities?
• Who is involved and doing it well, from local government, universities, the local business community, major corporations, investment and finance groups, high schools, coworking spaces and innovation hubs?

In late 2018, we’re going to take these questions to the road on a national tour of over 60 innovation regions over ten months. Tying into PhD research, our aim is to understand how communities build resilience and are best supported through entrepreneurial activity.

We’re going to meet some incredible people, document and capture the journey along the way through video and posts, and share lessons to help those who support entrepreneurs across Australia.

We would love for you to be involved!

• First, we’ve mapped out places and spaces to visit. We can only get to so many places, but if there’s something happening in a location we really need to get to or someone in your region I need to speak with, let us know.
• Second, we’re going to be doing hundreds of interviews with entrepreneurs and those who support entrepreneurs. What would be one question you would want to ask, or concept you would like to test? Let us know.
• Finally, we really want to get to know the people who are making a difference. There’s a spare seat in the car for chats as we travel from region to region, and we want to help out where possible through events when we are in town to really get to know the communities. Let us know if you want to tag along and share a meal.
