The Brisbane City Council Maker Entrepreneurship Program aims to boost the local maker economy by providing free training for independent maker micro-businesses. This initiative equips artisans, such as artists, potters, and woodworkers with essential skills to grow sustainable creative ventures, enhancing the unique offerings at local markets and online.
Highlights
- Support for makers: Training helps participants enhance their business skills, leading to greater sales and brand awareness.
- Networking opportunities: The program fosters collaboration, alleviating the isolation often felt by makers.
- Events and markets: Sponsorship of conferences and design markets creates platforms for makers to showcase their products.
With a focus on creating a thriving, bespoke creative community, the program not only enriches the local economy and communities but also connects artisans with resources and support, enhancing their capability and wellbeing.
