The Innovation Centre Sunshine Coast, a University of the Sunshine Coast company which houses
entrepreneurial businesses and operates business incubator and accelerator programs, is expanding its 2009
business development program, offering a mix of free and cost-effective events to help businesses grow.
Innovation Centre CEO Colin Graham said the Centre, located on the University of the Sunshine Coast
campus, was dedicated to the support and growth of the region’s economy, and particularly the development
of the ICT, Green Tech, Knowledge and Creative industries sectors in the area.
“That’s why we are opening up our business development programs, some of which have previously only been
available to Innovation Centre tenants, to give entrepreneurs information and skills to help them face the
challenges ahead,” Mr Graham said.
Mr Graham said the 2009 Business Development program, sponsored by Westpac Bank, would include

drinks from 4pm. The program of upcoming events includes:
