Organisers aim to empower businesses across Greater Shepparton with a number of workshops, networking opportunities and resources to inspire innovation and drive growth for local businesses.

With a focus on reconnecting businesses post-COVID-19 and equipping them with the tools for success in a rapidly evolving business landscape, this event promises to become a beacon of support for Greater Shepparton entrepreneurs.

More than 16 workshops will be held in 12 venues, catering to small businesses, established businesses, new businesses and sole traders.

The festival has been organised by Greater Shepparton City Council in partnership with the Greater Shepparton Business Network and council’s Resilience in Recovery program.
